studied variants
I play "Basque Chess" with my son, but is this a real "Double-move game"? We set the clock for, say, 10 minutes each (with increment of 10 seconds per move) and play. On two adjacent boards -- one with White for me and Black for him, the other with Black for me and White for him. My full move is completed when I've played on both boards and pressed the clock. The game starts with a single move made by one of the White pieces, and goes on with "double-moves" by the opponent, in turns. This variant is known to "level" the advantage of starting a game (a tournament) with the White pieces.

(This is the way my 8-year-old son likes to play tic-tac-toe against me: he puts down two X's, then I put down two O's, then he puts down two X's and wins. Fair, right?) Note that this form of two-player game can be seen as a four-player game in which players #1 and #2 collaborate and players #3 and #4 collaborate.
