I see we now have a thread on the go here entitled " How Chess Should be Changed ". Sorry however the fact of the matter is that Chess does not need any changes.

I see where someone wants to get rid of the Stalemate ? The answer is NO NO NO !!! Chess is a perfect game as is !
Get rid of stalemate. Get rid of en passant. Let the Q move like a N as well as its current movements. Give Black more than half a point for a draw. All of the suggested changes have one thing in common: they would not update or improve chess, they would make it a very different game. People who advocate such changes are really asking for a chess variant. If they can find other people to play their variant, fine. As for me, just give me chess -- real chess, as it now stands.

completely agree with you now, but once upon a time when I was a beginner somebody used enpassant to completely reverse the outcome of the game.(I didn't know it was a legal move). Boy was I outraged by such obscure rules. Then again, if we allow castling(moving two pieces at once) No need not to allow En passant.
How about the first move advantage! This makes the game unbalance making it imperfect competitively. Of course this is a minor flaw however white will always start with a few centi-pawn lead.

--- Well of course any major match ( eg: World Title ) should be played to an even number of games in total so that both players have the same chances on the White side of the board.

Or we could make both players move at the same time (said some random person who sucks at chess)

Well in what about when there are draws for those even number of games eventually one will be a tie breaker which not necessarily on an even game.

I like it! I was also thinking about a way where black got the chance to guess whites first move and if Black guess correctly they get to move first.
Let it also be mention that the rules about draws are unclear which leads to bad etiquette. This is the one thing that truly needs to be updated and made more exact.
Anyone from Philly?

--- Well as the World Champ has the title he should keep the title if the score is even between the players after the match. What I mean by that is the challenger has to beat the Champ in order to be able to claim the title.

I see we have a thread here now where the OP claims that Chess is dying and improvements are needed ? Well OTB Chess may have slowed down a bit however on-line Chess games have become quite popular, things change over time.

Chess needs I suck to be changed at chess
The main modification that have been made to the rules of Chess in the last 500 years or so was the introduction of the Chess-Clock. Therefore Chess is now the perfect game and no further changes are needed !
