No. I don't see any leap of evolution here. But your idea to bring chess to a new level is fine, and many have had this idea, and one day when the right mixture comes about it will evolve. A word of advice, don't take it so seriously that you would risk everything to make this idea work, either it will or won't. Threating to sue people and calling others idiots will sink your idea, no matter how good, faster than you can say Check and Mate! Ease Up...
