This variant is not opposite to retreting chess. Opposite would be game, where pieces moves 1 forward to empty suare.
Another interesting variant (i was thinking of this before): expect for moving from last rank, all pieces always must first move forward* to empty square, and when make normal move. This rule don't apply for pawns. Optional rule - pieces don't have to move 1 forward whenthere is another piece in front of them (it's optional bcause pieces, wich can be easily blocked is interesting, stalemate may be win for last moved player).
* - another variant is moving backward instead forward (expect for first rank).
Another idea: what if one of these variants plays against other?

I apparently didn't notice your variant. However, it is not exactly the same. One-way chess, for example, doesn't have an extra winning condition.

You mention that my Retreating Chess made you think of this variant. It's an interesting coincidence then that your game is very similar to my other variant, One Way Chess.
