 You already get the point! How? Already seen Magnetic Chess? One way is to iterate the process and make the changes of the moved pieces, again and again, until the board reaches a fixed point or a cycle! Of course this type of game can only be programmed in a computer because the number of iterations can be very large (but certainly finite).
This type of game brings a sort of chaos idea, everything determined by fixed rules, but the sensitivity to the initial conditions brings uncertainty to simple moves! Because of this, we suffix the specific game with the 'chaos' word (eg, Magnetic Chaos).

1. All Magnetic Chess rules apply except in the following:
2. After a player's move, all moved unit interacts on their turn with other units, until a fixed point or a cycle is reached.

 Sample Games

Sorry, no sample games! I wonder why? ;-)

Yet another way, is to use the chaos idea, not applying all combinations, but just one chosen by the player, until it reaches a fixed cycle. With this idea in mind, we invented the following game:
 

1. All Magnetic Chess rules apply except in the following:
2. There is no notion of check, checkmate and stalemate. The winner is the player who captures the opponent's king.
3. A moved piece must interact in an anti-magnetic way with another piece. That piece must then interact with another and so on until the player reaches his own king (a piece cannot interact twice in the same move).

Eg,
    r n b q k . b r       r n b q k . b r       r n b . k . b r
    p p p p p p n p       p p p p p p n p       p p p . p p n p
    . . . . . . p .       . . . . . . p .       . . . q p . . .
    . . . . . . . .  g4   . . . . . . . .  d5   . . . p . . . .
    . . . . . . . .  =>   . . . . . . O .  =>   . . . . . . O .
    . . . . . . . N       . . . . . . B N       . . . . . . B N
    O O O O O O O O       O O O . O O O O       O . O O O O O O
    R N B Q K . B R       R N B Q K . . R       R N B Q K . . R
