There is a new chess variant: Random Chess

Dear chess fans,

if Fischerrandom (or Chess960 or Freestyle Chess) is still too conventional for you, then you might want to go one step further and try out "Random Chess"!
It is with normal chess piece configuration and rules, but each turn you are only limited to 5 random legal moves to pick! The program searches all legal moves you can make and suggests only 5, even if those 5 are all crap moves! You have to pick the relatively best move.

You can check it out here (it is still very prototype-like):

Here is a lichess article about it:
