@Meelyman...most average players found difficult 2 keep track of 64 squares n 32 pieces if we would've had so many pieces rating would drop another 300 to 400 points. ...hahahhaha..:-)
If you can change a chess rule or create a chess rule, what would it be ?
Sort:
If a player is reduced to zero pieces (except king) and cannot reduce the other players pieces (except king) to zero in the following move, it's a loss.
Should make endgames more worthwhile to play out, and avoid lots of draw situations.
you can prommote into your opponents pieces too

I think the most logical rule should be that stalemate should be a win for the stalemater and a loss for the stalematee. The basic idea of chess is to capture the enemy king. If a king is in stalemate it means that any move he makes results in him being captured.

i wish someone would make a website where you can play chess a 4x the normal size! This means 2 kings/queens, 4 rooks, 16 pawns, 256 squares, ex.. You would still have 2 lines, a line of pawns, and a line of minor and major pieces. The board would be 16x16 instead of 8x8. Work on it someone! IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!!!
+1 !!
Wow, what a slaughterfest this would be 
And more chances for me as a patzer for that all the new openings are not invented and you would not just win by memorizing !!!!!!

stalemater wins, that's mine
I agree, stalemate should be a win for the person forcing it. It was considered a win until around 1800. It's also a win in checkers, why not chess?
When moving a knight you have to make a "he haw sound" otherwise you forfeit the move.
On days of the month with a prime number you can slide a bishop from one colour to another, as long as you wear a red shirt are older than opponent and say "fiddle fiddle foe" as you do it....
Initial time controls are proportional to height.
Rooks have to have their tessellations aligned with compass points.
When an opponent coughs for that turn only your queen can capture like a checker as long as you say "take you for being noisy".
You can use your opponen'ts captured pieces for yourself.
The starting position isn't fixed.

British humour always takes the cake...
One American addition:
For every piece taken, the losing player must jump up, run out the closest door and lap the building before returning to their seat to make their next move - all while on the clock.
If make illegal moves legal for the chaos

Current castling is a complex rule. I'd get rid of it. And at the same time create another rule that is more simple and also supports development.
Not that I don't understand castling, but I just prefer simplicity.
It would be interesting if you could set up your pieces however you wanted so long as they remaind on the first three ranks of your side of the board. I'm not sure how this would work in real life though. Works fine in Stratego because none of the pieces are known from the start anyway but chess is a perfect information game. But it would be fairly easy to arrange online.

That has the making of an interesting idea.
You capture a pawn - do 20 pushups
Capture a knight - 20 burpees
A bishop - 2 minute skip
Rook - 30 sit ups
Queen - run round the block
Get fit and play chess. If your opponent hates running offer early queen exchanges.
Capture your own pieces. It could come in handy.
the pawn can promote to a king.

for all the people who are taking away stalemates. you are taking away an important startegy for players. Now drawn K and pawn endings become a win, and it would not matter, if you had the wrong color bishop with a pawn, and N+B wins would be so much easier.
Have any of you ever played 4-man chess? We created a board with the traditional 64 squares - all vacant ... each edge then had an additional 2 rows - 16 squares - with the traditional set-up. You played with a partner opposite you. Was interesting!
Also, there is the more traditional two simultaneous games - where your partner at the adjacent table plays opposite color and gives you pieces as he captures. If you're in trouble, they may sac a major piece just to get you a saving pawn. Any piece your partner gives to you can be placed ANYWHERE on the board.
I would take away the rule that you can't checkmate with K + 2 N's vs K.
