What if chess was different?

Isn't it very boring every single GM game ending up being a draw?

Yeah dull as anything.  The world champion never loses a game anymore, it's too easy for him.

I think I must remind you of  some rules in Option Chess. In a double move, if you move two different pieces, only the second move can involve a capture or a check. If you move a single piece twice, none of these moves can be a capture and only the second one can be a check. With these restrictions, captures are not greatly increased. A lot of double moves would therefore be preparatory rather than predatory.

Ah, now it sounds even better!

I hate "what if it were just a little different" questions. The answer is it would be different. Not the same. Different. Maybe better maybe worse. Who cares ?

What if one day somebody of you actually commented something relevant? By the way, I will anwer your question with another question and an answer:

If we add 16 melons to 37 strawberries and divide the substracted 9 potatoes, how many omelettes fit on a terrace? The answer is blue, because aliens don't wear hats during Easter.

"Somebody of you"??? Like multiple personalities? I'm not that crazy... my mother had me tested!

It seems to me that if chess was different it wouldn't be the same

How can we be sure it's not already different?
