Your rule seems appropriate. These original rules create too much havoc on
the position, and make medium-term strategies difficult to plan. 

At that time, I start playing a better variant of the same idea: Balanced
Swap Chess (http://www.chessvariants.org/diffmove.dir/balancedswap.html).
In this variant, the moving ability is much more constrained: only one
swap per move. 

Thanks for your comments! If you like to try a game of balanced swap
chess, email me.
