Chessmaster1000: The rule could be that a Rook may only be captured if it it throwing a check or if the capturing move throws a check. Plus regular checkmates could win. Besides, a Pawn can be promoted to a Rook, so instead of going for a Queen, it might go a lot differently in the ending. A Queen might still be your choice, but only because it'll help you get two Rooks with your remaining Pawns. Especially if a regular checkmate is not a win.
Yes, ughaibu, give it some thought. You might be onto a variant of a sort here. :)
