If you had to add a rule to chess to make it more interesting, what would it be? I’d say if you land 2 of your matching pieces on a square you combine them into one more powerful piece. Eg both knights -> rook. Both rooks -> queen

Stalemate = loss for the king that can’t move.

Interesting, I guess that king is usually the one that’s down in the game. But I do like that you still need to checkmate to win - kinda like tennis where you can’t just rely on them messing up, you still have to play to win when winning

If you think of chess as a metaphor for war, what happens to a king when his kingdom is seized and surrounded? It’s certainly not a draw, unless he’s being drawn and quartered!

Tell me black doesn’t deserve a draw if white messes up here 😂 https://warpcast.com/chihiro/0x5d14a30c

If white knows the right move black doesn't have any chance😂

Oh another variation I would make is the game isn’t over until the king is captured. King can move into check. Mate may be missed by opponent, especially if played with short time controls. Which would make this easy to solve by moving the king or a3 and then black king would have to move into check on b8 or a7.
