Zombie Maze
This game is a game in which you have to get to the hill but there are zombies guarding it and you only have 15 lives, but luckily the bots are randos, but they are also checkers so it takes skill by knowing where to move and luck from the zombies randomly moving

I've had some fun with this twist: more enemy pieces, less lives for the king, captures allowed, and two xiangqi knights to pave a safe path.

I tried allowing the king only one life, but I got disappointed when my opponent got checked and abruptly lost. It meant my own battle was cut short. This is my biggest issue with this one, it's more or less a one player game. You're not interacting with your opponent, just the bots. So when i "won," it wasn't because of anything I did. It was more fun in the analysis setting when I controlled both black and white.
So I know it's pretty different than your initial idea, but the race is still on. You're still dodging bots. There's a few moments of luck when you have to risk losing a knight. If I wanted to keep improving it, I'd set up the bot pieces so that the king has to enter each section with the knights to effectively clear it out instead of allowing him to hang back. Maybe it gives you some ideas...
he didn't use the forced win line
White doesn't always win because white can get checkmated first,
