Just once in a game you can skip and turn and take two turns after. You announce you're skipping, the other player gets two turns then you get two turns.

That's an interesting idea...

But then can't you just attack your opponent's queen and win it if you have two turns?

Revised rule: draws and stalemates are losses for both players.

Draw by repetition amendment: playing for a draw gets you the draw, but also you're banned for life.

A pawn can be promoted to King!

If your opponent has promoted a pawn to King, you must mate both kings to win.  For the player with the extra King, only 1 king must be out of check for the move to be legal and a King cannot be captured.  So, for example, in the following diagram:

White can play 1.a8(Q)+, or he could play 1.a8(K), and after 1...Qd5+ (White is in check as both kings are attacked), 2.Kb8, 2.Qg2, 2.Kg1 are all examples of legal moves.

 

Makes things interesting.  Do you promote to win (to Queen)?  Or do you promote to not lose (to King)?

 

No King can be captured, so in that above example, if 2.Qg2, 2...Qxa8 would be illegal!

Four players using a 96 square board,

If your king reaches the final rank (or horizontal row) on the other side of the board, and if the corresponding file (or vertical row) where you king lies and where one of your pawns started the game is unoccupied, you recapture one of your previously lost pawns and place it it in this spot. (If the king reaches d8 as shown above, the pawn recaptured would be placed at d2)

This move can only be performed once per game, is only possible if your opponent has already claimed one of your pawns at some point prior to this move, and can only occur if the pawn's space mentioned earlier is unoccupied. This move would be called the "rally", and performing it would be called "rallying". 

*Note that if the pawn's space mentioned previously IS occupied, the rally cannot occur at this space. BUT, the king is still permitted to move within the rank, on the opponent's side of the board, to find a corresponding pawn's space that is no longer occupied.

**Additionally, the pawn that is recaptured is an ordinary pawn, meaning it is still capable of moving two spaces forward for it's opening move if the player wishes it.

I did not steal anything, fool!

1) Post 33 has no copyright

2) Your lazy post 33 says nothing about what happens when I promote to King.  Do both kings have to be checkmate simultaneously?  That is what I said.  Or do you capture the first king and then mate the second?

 

Don't give me this disgrace BS.  There are 43 people total that are complete disgraces and I am not one of them!

For world championship matches and others that use Armageddon, I have a new rule for Armageddon:

 

Nobody wins on a draw!

Champion gets White first (random draw for other events or maybe an extra minute or 2 for whoever gets Black first).

Time control - 30 minutes each, 2 second increment.

If White wins, White is world champion

If Black wins, Black is world champion

If it is a draw, clocks are stopped, colors are switched and set to the starting position (so game 2 the challenger gets white, if a game 3 occurs, champion gets white, etc).

Time is carried over from the previous game.  So if the champion had 5:43 left and the challenger had 7:18 left, the clock starts at 7:18 for the challenger, 5:43 for the champion, 2 second increment, challenger has White.

 

This way, someone must win, either on time or by a blunder by the opponent.  None of this "draw wins for black" junk.

Cool idea ThrillerFan! I like Gserper's idea of preventing draws, in tournaments he thinks there should be a limited number of moves, say around 70-80 for each game, and eliminate offering draws and three-fold repetition. Then, the 50-move rule would be the main reason for drawing, and their precious limited moves would tick away in dead-drawn endgames.

So, if you get an early perpetual (move 15) you'll have to play the same moves 50 times in a row to get a draw? 

Fantastic idea... such a genius...

Forbid games without increment, lots of dirty flag dropping.
