Poison Pawn Chess

This game was invented by Samay Raina. in the following Youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjqrujk8fys

Pieces

All pieces move like in FIDE chess, except that when the game starts each player secretly chooses one of the pawns to be the poisened pawn. The pawns that start on files D and E cannot be poisened. Once a poisoned pawn promotes, that piece is no longer poisoned.

Rules

FIDE Chess rules apply, but with the following winning conditions added: If a player captures a poisened pawn, that player loses. If a player captures a poisened pawn with a poisened pawn, that player wins. If a player captures a non-poisened piece with a poison pawn, that player loses.
