Yes, it is perfectly playable with the rule that you can't put your
opponent into check. I prefer it with the original rule because of the
mating combinations it provides, but that is just a matter of taste.
As for stalemate=win, fine with me of course. The two-piece rule sounds
more artificial, it could be an idea if it becomes clear that endgames are
too difficult to win.
<p>Some time ago, somebody pointed out to me that a pawn should be promoted
by the owner's opponent, which makes sense. I would like to add this to
the standard rules.
