12* GIVEAWAY CHESS

Same as classic Giveaway Chess except:

Each player moves twice except in the first move.
Any non-capturing turn must leave at least one piece closer to some enemy piece.
Inability to move is deemed equivalent to having no pieces.

This variant seems better than the standard giveaway chess. The only quirk is that it needs the 2nd rule so that the game is forced to converge to an end (it prevents turns where the players simply prevent zugzwangs by repeating previous board positions).
