Maybe expressing your idea sharing it here can help in a cathartic way?...In case someone can observe?However, if you can't change Chess universally, perhaps you can discuss a variant. Chat can help

“While chess has evolved over the centuries, the current copyright owner of chess is Garry Kasparov, also known as "Gary Chess". He acts more as a steward of the game, not taking a profit (mostly) and keeping it largely unchanged aside from some minor rules about draws. If he did make major rule changes, I suspect many such as FIDE and Chess.com would ignore it, however legally speaking the official rules of chess is what he as the copyright owner decides. I'm not sure why no one in this discussion has mentioned this, I suspect many don't know this fact, but I hope this has fully answered your question.”
Partially but I want da true owner”

HASBRO owns chess.
By that logic, the Washington State University owns checkers.

"Who owns chess?" - No one.
"Who has the power to change a rule?" - This is a tricky question. People might say FIDE or USCF but they can only enforce it in their tournaments. In fact there are certain rules that vary between FIDE and USCF. But undoubtedly if, let's say, FIDE decided to remove en passant or double move of pawns, they would face backlash, so it wouldn't happen. So unless society decides to create a hive-mind where everyone agrees on changing chess, the rules aren't changing anytime soon.
