It's already bigger than a bread box.  Just how big do you want it to be?

Like, two bread boxes. Maybe three.

After 1,500 years maybe, just maybe, chess has gotten as big as it's gonna get.

Talk all you want about creating a new form of the game that nobody will ever play *cough* I mean that people can choose to play instead, but don't say ridiculous things like changing the whole concept of the current game.

Changing the scoring system is probably on a par of ridiculousness along with such ideas as changing the stalemate or repetition rules so that one side wins. Chess will never be a big spectator sport no matter what rules you change, so stop trying to turn it into one.

I don't think changing the point system is really changing the current game.

It is difficult enough the way it is .No more changes please.

 

The football system 3 for a win might however be a good idea.

Here's a 19 by 19 board!  White vs Black.  And for those that complain about how White always goes first, Black goes first here!
