New chess variant

Hello

I dont know if this is existence or not, but what about a chess variant whereby your piece turns into the piece it captures.

Object would still be to mate.

Cheers
Well actually not exactly absorption

My idea is just a simple piece change, not (if im reading correctly) an additional movement ability.
yes , there are a lot of interesting varients , among of which I liked these :
Absorption Chess Capturer gains movement abilities
Accelerated Chess Two non-capturing moves, or one capturing move, each turn
Anticipation Chess Commit after moving to which kind of unit you will move next.
Active Chess Two queens, 9x8
Amazon Chess The queen may also move as a knight
Almost Chess The queen may move as a knight or rook but not as a bishop.
Besiege Chess Large variant with White on either side, Black in center
Billiards Chess Queens (when moving diagonally) and Bishops bounce off the walls.
