If you could change one rule, what would it be? I would allow the queen to move like a Knight as well as a rook and Bishop.

I can hardly keep up with it as it is lol, I don’t know if we need more rules.

I do like how in OTB you can ask the Arbitrator for a “claim to a draw”. It would be interesting if that claim was implemented to online play some how.

It would eliminate some utter nonsense with regards to dirty players shuffling their pieces or random moves for a win by flagging.

I would suggest that people who make silly suggestions should get a slap on the side of the head. This suggested rule change has the potential for greatly improving the game.

No. Am not sure it has... But I have always wondered why the queen cannot move like a Knight. Thanks for the affirmation though

When I was a kid, I thought an interesting rule would be pawns can promote to rook, bishop, or knight, but not a queen.

Queens just seemed like a no-brainer.

I like that one too... Adds a little extra. Keeps the game more in play

That would practically be impossible to defend against

Would go a long to reducing the number of draws in chess, though.
