It sounds like you are assuming that your opponent won't know (or will momentarilly forget) about this added double move rule. IE your opponent isn't going to let you play Ne6, and then say, "oh, I completely forgot about the double move rule." He would probably prevent you from playing Ne6 in the first place, since he would have calculated ahead and known that if you get to play Ne6, he loses his queen. I think it's a big advantage, but I think if you played 100 games between two computer opponents, both of which were knowledgable about the double move possibility, it wouldn't turn out 100-0, but I may be underestimating the advantage.
