This reminds me a bit of Hand and Brain [1], another fun variant with kids. We usually switch to normal chess after a predetermined number of moves.

This reminds me a bit of Hand and Brain [1], another fun variant with kids. We usually switch to normal chess after a predetermined number of moves.
In Go this is known as Rengo and is the most popular couples' tournament format.
That's so close to a variant we once invented. There were 4 of us, 2 of us good at chess and 2 beginners. We played in teams, a good person and a beginner on each team. We took it in turns to move and you couldn't tell your partner ANYTHING.
As the good player, you had to come up with a good move for the board but also for what your partner might do next. Was fun!
