If you want Black to win more often, just have me play as white. Problem solved.

Everything else in chess is far fairer than any other game I have ever encountered, sixteen pieces each with each piece positioned with symmetrical correspondence to opponents' pieces and each piece having the same move pattern with equal power. 90 year olds can play with 10 year olds.

If anything, I am surprised chess games give the amount of actual results they do (e.g. 1-0 or 0-1), theoretically 99.99% games should be draws, with maybe 0.01% win for white as it does start first and that is at times an advantage (how can you lose to someone with the same 'army' as you? perplexing..."). Other than that chess is a very fair game - wait didn't I already say that.

People like to have a joke, deal with it.

Electrified board, metal pieces for white. Will constantly annoy white player and break their concentration.

lol You weren't being sarcastic, you just didn't understand that it was not supposed to be taken seriously like many others.

You should make black always sit nearest to the moon! This way, the lunar energy and the cosmos would benefict black, making the percentage exatally the same!(in the case of games with more than 12 hours, you should consider moving the chairs)

I am still confused with how moving pieces with your left-hand is a disadvantage?

A sweet chess variant would be that anytime (before you move), you may switch teams with the other player.

*Sigh* That is why in most tournaments, you play an equal number of games playing white, and black.

180 degree rotating board. White moves first...black second. Then board rotates and the Black player has the White peices in front of him...and...trys to make what he thinks are the worst moves for the White peices. The White player then does the same with the Black peices in front of him. After this the board rotates back to normal for move ( 3 )...with the White player trying to make the best move...and...the Black player trying the same on move...( 3 ). Just keep repeating this procedure.

Through my intensive study of the statistics of chess games played in the last 100 years I have discovered a loophole in the game that leaves it fundamentally flawed.

White wins more games than black does. This can't be fair. I have a couple of suggestions:

Any other suggestions to help make this game (that we all love) fairer will be gratefully received.

I think you overlook a more fundamental inequity: better players win more games than worse ones.

Not without knowing how pigs fare against chickens. Pigs ought to gain the upper trotter - if breakfast has anything to do with it.
