Yup I just spotted another thread where they want to get rid of all draws. Bad idea and let us look at a couple of examples why. Example A: You have a couple of players that compete in 2 games and end up winning 1 game each so therefore they both get 1 point.  ---   Example B: Again we have a couple of players who compete in 2 games but this time both games end in draws and again both player get 1 point each. Okay then WHAT The Heck was the big problem here in the 1st place ???  Hint: There will be NO Changes in the Rules !!!    

   ---   Yup more complaints about draws  lol.

   ---   Just saw a complaint about stalemates, sorry no changes needed.

And I see yet another new thread where someone wants to make changes to the rules regarding draws ( the 3-move rule, ie 3 repeats ). Sorry but Chess is perfect as is, no changes allowed  lol.

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.

   ---   Yup.

I see where someone is complaining about the draw by repetition rule. Well if you do not like that rule, too bad, so sad.

Chess clocks were the last modification that was added to the chess rules (circa 1883...NEEDED, too, since players back then commonly took hours--or even days-- to make their moves; even among the elite players), and it was the last change that was truly needed. No further modification is required! Chess is SET now the way it is...if people want to play under alternate rules, then they can go to the CHESS VARIANTS...

Hey there's lots of whites in the country called South Africa so your statement makes less than zero sense ..

And on top of that we do have strong dark skinned players too.. so that also doesnt make sense that only lighter skinned people can be top players..
