What rule change would you like to see in chess: castling is so boring… Ok, to be honest, I’m not a big fan of drawing-restrictions, simply because I always offer draw with good reason, no matter that it’s move 10 or 80. Still, I understand the necessity of this rule sometimes – especially in round robin tournaments – to fight against lazy people! 😀
