Each turn, your opponent may refuse one of your moves. If you have only one move, it is checkmate or stalemate depending on the circumstances. Attributed to Fred Galvin, 1958.

A bug which did not allow a line-mover to cross a forbidden square was found and corrected by me 5/23/03. This produced a second bug which was corrected 6/5/03. Thanks Dale Hawthorne for pointing this out. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Compromise Chess, in which the opponent chooses between two of your proposed moves, is more suited for correspondence play than over-the-board play, according to Pritchard.
