Random Chess is classic chess with a chaotic dice twist. At the start of every turn, a die decides which piece type you are allowed to move (Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, or "Any Piece"). If no legal move exists for that roll, your turn is forfeited.
That means every plan has to survive chance. You still get full chess rules and tactics, but now you must adapt constantly, recover from bad rolls, and capitalize when your opponent gets stuck.
The mechanics of this game even allows you to capture your opponent's King, leading to an automatic win. But be careful, don't allow your King to be captured first!
