If you could add a new rule to chess, what would it be?

Instead of a normal move, you may switch the places of two of your pieces. They can't be your king or one of your pawns, but they may deliver check(mate) on that move. This may be done any number of times during the game.

An example of when this is useful (taken from Tata Steel Round 13: Guijarro - Giri):
The engine evaluates this position as slightly better for White. However, if White switched their knight with the rook on a4, the evaluation changes to a clear win for White.
Even though it is now Black's turn, Black can't save both the queen and the rook, since the queen can't go back to c7 to protect the hanging rook on f7. White wins material and will win the game.

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...
Letting the players suffer...
I forgot exactly how it goes, I don't remember how perpetual worked in his theory.
Make knights promote like pawns to a fairy chess piece. The Nightrider. It can make any number of Knight moves in the same direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightrider_(chess)

Instead of pawns ,it'll start like this
This one I prefer
If the rooks, knights and bishops are also replaced by queens along with the pawns then that harkens back to an old Chess Life set of cartoons labeling it Mormon chess. (Marxist chess replaces all pieces with pawns),
That would still end in a draw.
What about ALLOWING PLAYERS TO CAPTURE THEIR OWN PIECES! This develops new strategies and tactics (Lennart chess).

You could delete 1 piece in the level, and put it down later. You can do this only once.

you can do crazy mode where one of you r pieces goes crazy and captures a piece(can capture own pieces and kings)
Queen would be less powerful, say only able to move 5 squares in any direction and pawns would be able to retreat, but not attack while retreating.
