The points below are well taken. What I was really trying to do was express a concept from literature - the idea of chess capturing moves as ritualised single combats, with the attacker formally challenging the defender. This naturally excludes multiple attacks and the element of surprise. I accept that these things might make for a better game, but then the literary concept would be lost.
