Body: <p>I was pondering an asymmetrical variant where White's king is just a regular piece that moves like a normal king, but can be captured without consequence (and hence check for White does not exist). The game would consist of Black attempting to avoid being checkmated for X moves. (X might be 30?)</p>
  <p>Is there any such known variant?</p>

  I was pondering an asymmetrical variant where White's king is just a regular piece that moves like a normal king, but can be captured without consequence (and hence check for White does not exist). The game would consist of Black attempting to avoid being checkmated for X moves. (X might be 30?)
  
  Is there any such known variant?
