Rationale: There are hundreds of variants where the pieces are new but the king and pawn structure is the same.
My suggested design parameters: Could be played on an 8x8 board, with a standard chess set. The design must use alternate kings and pawns, may use alternate queens and/or rooks (including optional inverted rooks), and may not use alternate bishops or knights.
I'd also like to state that I am a big fan of rules/variants that reduce the chance of a draw.
My vote: Alternate pawns and kings.
