I think this game is perfect and creators are not humans!Every rule in the game is precise considerate-no need to change it!If you won't to change the rule,than change the name of the game!
I would give the queen the additional capability of moving like a knight. So the queen would be able to move like a bishop, rook, knight. This would truly make it more difficult to capture the queen.
if i could change any rule it would be that the pawns can also attack backwards. that would be so cool
Rather than making the Queen even more powerful as some suggest, there's perhaps an argument for making her less so - for example, she can move in any direction as now, but only up to four squares. This, by the way, would be a half-step back in the rules as at one time queens could only move as kings can.
I would like to add a piece on a 10x10board.
A piece that not only captures pieces but its abilitys...or just invent a new kind of piece-walk.

Although the game is perfect as it is and changes to the rules will not be accepted by players (unless it changes gradually over 100 years or something), I would make it so instead of getting 2 knights and 2 bishops, in the beginning of the game, the player can chose if he/she wants 3 bishops and 1 knight, 4 bishops and 0 knights, or any other minor piece combo combo.
I also like how the queens are. Having a powerhouse piece is fun!

You are obviously NOT a serious chess player. Serious chess players know about en passant and use it.
what is en passant??? pass pawn?
I guess you know what en passant is and, by pass pawn do you mean passed pawn? En passant is French for in passing... A passed pawn is a pawn with no opposing pawns to prevent it from advancing to the eighth rank, i.e. there are no opposing pawns in front of it on the same file nor on an adjacent file.

Blitz is pretty similar as it allows "capture king". Would mere checkmate be a draw?

I agree, things like en passant and stalemete give the game a lot of charm and create extra problems to be solved. If you must change a rule, why not try to do something thaT DEEPENS the problems faced by players.
No comment!!!
My little list:
- No pawns.
- More bishops.
- Queen that moves skipping sqaures.
- Rooks that roll across the board capturing all pieces as it goes.
- Knights that have tiny projectile weapons.
- King force fields.
- Square b4 must teleport to square g6.
- Square g6 teleports to any square on Hugo Lessman's board in Plains, IN.
- All pieces and squares to be colored beige.
- Queens to be resized to 8" taller than all other pieces, but no wider.
- Clock must be of the Mickey Mouse variety.
- Underwater chess: encouraged.

YES! This is starting to sound like a previous post of mine: Welcome To Chess Club

I wish that it were legal to beat me, just virtually impossible.
And I completely agree with AlecKeen
keep the game the way it is
Strip chess can be fun in certain social situations...but I digress.
So by savy swede's post, the rule he would like to change is "keep the game the way it is." I also want something changed. Thanks, savy swede!
I don't like how chess is becoming more and more of a thinking game, and the importants of the strength and endurance to lift peices is always decreasing. I remember a time where each peice weighed 30 kg, and the squares were 100 metres by 100 metres, and just moving one peice one square was an achievement. Nowadays though, lifting and moving peices is unimaginably easy, so everybody is focusing their attention at thinking. I am really annoyed by that. So if I could change any rule in chess, it would be this: no thinking allowed. If this rule is added, than people will begin to realize that chess is was funner in the days where it depended on your lifting and moving skills, and re-manufacture the older chess sets.
