The game you described is actually a pretty interesting levelling-contest. A *very* similar concept was a used as an elimination game on a Korean competition game show called "The Genius", but with the same idea applied to the Korean game of Yutnori (a race-type game that also includes capturing pieces to send them back).

Though Yutnori is obviously much simpler, it's still interesting to see how this idea applies. If you have 15 minutes, this clip shows the game playing out: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k6rbqxKWTZzpdo52sXD (explanation of rules starts at 14:45).
