I would change the rule about the castling. When your in check, you can still castle (but you still can’t if it’s a place you get mated)

I would make a rule that FIDE rated games must not start before 11 am local time.

I would make a rule that FIDE rated games must end by 9:00 pm local time. The chess world’s discrimination against morning people oppresses me.
Honestly, a rule that should be changed is checkmating the opponent. One reason is long range checkmating. It would be such a game changer if you could put a bishop in the corner of the boar and the king in the other and it counts as a checkmate!
That's all I have to say today! Bye!

A pawn will be promoted to the piece in the same column. E.g. A pawn in Knight's column will be promoted to Knight only, pawn in Bishop's column will be promoted to Bishops only. Only King's pawn is allowed to be promoted to any piece.

If en passant did not exist it would not be a big loss.
Otherwise, I'm only in awe of how well balanced the game is and how varied the quality of replay is.

In earlier forms of chess, the king had limited mobility and could only move one square in any direction. Over time, the rules of chess evolved to include the more dynamic movement of the king, allowing for the introduction of the castling move. The exact evolution of castling is not entirely clear, but historical sources suggest that the move was developed to speed up the game and provide additional defensive options for the king.

You see, the original game brought from Persia (chatranj) had a much weaker bishop and queen. The bishop was originally the Elephant, and could only jump two squares diagonally. The queen was the Ferz (or Visier) and could only move one square diagonally. (These pieces are retained in another offshoot of chatranj, Chinese Chess. And the piece names are retained in other languages: Ferz for queen in Russian, and Alfil for bishop in Spanish.) With these weaker, short-range pieces, the opening developed much more slowly, and the king could afford to either stay in the center or slowly run to safety.

Because you are your first teacher, and you are your best teacher.
When you try to solve something, you know something.
Even if some one else thought it before, you are re-thinking it. You are learning it yourself, just the people before you.
You get to see the process, first hand.
That's how I teach myself.
That's how I teach other people in everything.
Hey, I think there may have been a misunderstanding! Jessica's statement was self-explanatory, and she was simply asking for our opinions and perspectives on the matter. She wasn't looking for a specific answer or clarification, just wanting to hear our thoughts. No need to worry about it.

Personally i think Chess is the best game excercise for brains. Chess was created very intelligently (a hundred of years ago). The rules are very properly and meticulously designed and all the pieces are placed properly according to the rules. According to me there can not be and need not be any alteration in the game of chess. But if you were given the opportunity to change a rule, what would it be?
she also gave an answer. So I really don’t know what the fuss is about

personally, I could eliminate en passant, eliminate touch move from slow games, make pawns only go one square on the first move, etc. If oy had a buzzer so you could give your opponent electrical shocks, but only 3 shocks pr game
Because I answered my question first, I can answer her question.
Make chess a bi-athlon.
Chess and Operation.
This was the answer she gave after you asked her to answer first

An interesting thing about triathlon is that by design what people struggle with is the opposite of what they are good at. Swimmers require broad shoulders to push through the water, something that is detrimental to a good run because they are so top heavy. Bikers/cyclist have large quads that are useful for pushing a pedal but must be combined with quick fire calf muscles for a good running form. In addition, the tempo of a cyclist is much slower than that of running which makes for slow but large muscular power output while running requires fast paced turnover of your legs. Finally, as previously talked about, runners have small, light bodies that don't yield the power output needed for fast cycling or the upper body structure of a fast swimmer.
You can only promote to a piece you don't have on the board.
Ex: Can't promote to a queen if your queen is already on the board.
Fischer Ramdom chess would do that. For those not familiar, Fisher random or Chess960 was proposed by former World Champion Bobby Fischer and involves rearranging the starting positions of the pieces on the back rank, at random, each time, yielding 960 possible starting positions. With the proposal being to retain opposite colour bishops and castling.
There’s even better suggestions. For example:
