Thanks for the clear up. You probably should have said you weren't serious at the start. Thread title is misleading.
Brand NEW Chess rule, that should be a rule....

2. So why not make a comment about your opinion if them, rather than just lambasting the OP's specific wordchoice?
1. No, I did not imply that. If I had wanted to express that, I would have done so.
2. I did not lambast his word choice, I replied to what he has written.
You somehow seem to dislike that and try to get me to answer in a way you want me to answer. That is not going to happen. Unsurprisingly, I answer in the way I want to answer. You still get no say in that, I'm afraid.

Well, for me, I think it's a great new rule. But, of course, nobody can amend the oldest game on the planet. So being serious is a mute issue. Ooops.... maybe Chinese checkers are older?

I said it was a fun dumb idea. Are you some kind of chess troll? Changing my words and starting trouble? Please, again, get a life.
I did not change your words. I left a single word out of that quote and correctly marked it with ...
It is not a misquote.

I'm not trying to make you type anything you don't want to. I will cconstructively criticise the words you do share as I feel appropriate, though, which I have done. No need to be a jerk.

How refreshingly passive-agressive. You almost managed to hide the insult

Using ellipsis for omission of single word and big terms in wrong context. Congrats.

Something seems to upset you, want to talk about it ?

By the way there is a variant in which you win if the king goes to the centre of the board(called king of the hill I think).
That makes much more sense and it's much more fun as risky king runs in the middlegame are common but of course it's not chess.
The difference with that variant and OP's proposed idea, if I'm not mistaken, is that the former does not include possibility for Checkmate.

It's a draw anyway.
Not by default. Only per repetition/50move or impasse amounting to mutual agreement (supplanting mostly inapplicable stalemate in +Touchdown/Coup addition-variant). The side that outplayed the other will still earn the win (either by capturing enemy K or getting your K to other side first).
Anyways... it was just a fun idea. I played it a couple times and it actually puts a nice spin on the game. It gets interesting when the game spirals down, it adds a new layer to it. Try it. No harm, no foul.
Thanks for your replies.
