That's so close to a variant we once invented. There were 4 of us, 2 of us good at chess and 2 beginners. We played in teams, a good person and a beginner on each team. We took it in turns to move and you couldn't tell your partner ANYTHING.

As the good player, you had to come up with a good move for the board but also for what your partner might do next. Was fun!

In Go this is known as Rengo and is the most popular couples' tournament format.
