Captured pieces can come back onto the board after 5 moves. The game goes on forever....
If you could change one rule of chess,what would it be?
Sort:
Chess would die then.
U cant lose your presios queen
I'd like to be able to promote my King to Pope if it gets to the other side of the board. A pawn would be placed upon the King's head to resemble the triple tier tiara. The Pope would be permitted to transgress any rule of chess on the grounds on his infallibility. He is also unable to be mated due to his unwavering celibacy.
Stick the piece to your bum eh?
Well good luck with that!
Ah, I see where you're coming from!
He's from North Korea.

I would not want to change the rules of chess itself, per se, but rather the penalities. USCF is too leanient about many rule violations. Here are some things that need to change:
A complete, no exception, zero-tolerance policy. If ANYTHING of yours makes noise (Cell Phone, Pager, or any other electronic device that is not of medical necessity - meaning things like pace-makers are excused), you forfeit, no ifs, ands, or buts. None of this "10 minutes or half the time" bullsh*t. Allow capture the King - It's your job to pay attention and get out of check. No eating at the table. You try facing someone eating kettle-cooked chips while you are thinking about your move - happened to me in 2011. Only the native language of the country hosting the event can be spoken. You go to say, the Chicago Open, in May in the United States, and you get two foreigners talking to each other in French, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, etc. How are you supposed to know one isn't saying to the other, after English Translation, "If he moves his King to f7, just sacrifice the Knight with Ne5+"? A bracelet must be worn by all players, which will go off if you leave the boundries of the permitted area, meaning the tournament hall and a restroom. Locations like the Skittles Room, Restaurant or Bar, a different floor in the hotel (like where you hotel room is), etc, would cause the director to receive notification that bracelet number #### has crossed the boundries and that player forfeits the game.
It's all anti-cheating and anti-distraction changes, not changes to the rules of the game of chess itself except capture the king permission.
Way to suck the fun out of chess ThrillerFan haha. You need to losen up a bit. Chess is just a game
*hovers to check carlos33033's rating*
Yeah, I can see why actual ideas to improve chess as it is played would not interest you.
By the way, no one here is actually from North Korea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_North_Korea
The North Korean flag icon is effectively a troll indicator.

Personaly I think actually touching the piece dosen't go far enough. I say hovering your hand over a piece for even a half second constitutes being forced to move it.
I agree. If you touch a pawn the tip of your finger should be removed and if a piece you take it down to the knuckle. King or queen the entire finger.
From now on, all tournaments must provide players with a choice. They may play in a standard tournament, or, they may choose a tournament involving shots of tequila.

A player can put one rook on the same file as his/her other rook and ranks 1-4 (5-8 for black) if both rooks are on the same rank and there are no pieces between the two rooks. This will make doubling rooks easier.
I would make it a rule that a piece which is pinned cannot place the opponent's king in check.
If it cannot move, how can it threaten ?.

if a rook and bishop are next to each other, you can change it into a queen

whenever a player takes one of the opponent's pieces, s/he has to drink as many tequila shots as the value of the piece
(e.g. 1 shot for a pawn, 5 shots for a Rook)
Whenever a player is in check that player may choose to either get out of check *or* place their opponent in check. A checkmate is when one player is in check and can neither get out of check nor place their opponent in check. (If both kings are in check at the start of your turn, you can accept it as a draw or get your own king out of check.)
It doesn't affect the game much, but prevents some heroic wins from a player that is down a significant amount of material. It would probably ruin a lot of chess puzzles!

Pieces don't threaten by moving.
Living with a very poor analogy, you can still have a gun raised in your hand if the other is tied behind your back.
...and sensibility.
