That is an idea. Make a variant mapping 2D to 1D but remove and ignore the separators. And then change other rules if needed, including board setup, if that would improve the game.

'knight must
jump over at least one separator when moving' - it's not only separator limitation of FIDE chess on 1D board. Knight must jump over exactly 1 sparator to leap 10 squares and over exactly 2 to leap 17 squares. Bishop is (9) and (7) rider, but with each of it's leaps it must jump over exactly 1 separator. Rook can't cross separators when moves as rook, but it can move freely as (8) rider.
And here are rules for new game: what if separators are ignored?! :D

In the comment Black points out 2-D maps to 1-D, 3-D to 2-D, by  separators,

This was done once, although offhand I can remember neither the name nor the inventor.

Of course, another one dimensional chess is simply the mapping from the 2D board of FIDE chess to a 1D board. You need to add separators and a rule that a knight must jump over at least one separator when moving.

One-dimensionals are here, or linked, or in comment.

Also 1-D are Mono-dimensional Chess by Luiz Carlos Campos, who developed Ramayana to be continued, and String Chess by Aaron Hall.
