New Game: Chess Connect

Starting with an empty board, add one piece at a time, power allowed based on number of pieces on the board. Capture permanent? Probably not. Goal is a chain of captures through your own pieces connecting opposite sides. Opponents connect perpendicularly. Start with kings, and win by capturing king or connecting opposite sides? Place on a space that one of your pieces could capture? Only capture by adding pieces, or choose between moving and adding?
