You should only be allowed to promote a pawn with a piece that has been captured

i once had a game in OCC when i promated a pawn but had both rook and queen and if it was a major piece i would have mate him.

inteasd have a limit of quenns max 3 for exmaple

I've told you once and for some reason chess.com removed it - THE CHESS BOOK PUBLISHING WORLD WOULD NOT BE HAPPY CAMPERS! THOUSANDS OF TITLES FOR BEGINNERS, IN HUNDERDS OF LANGUAGES, WOULD BE MADE REDFUNDANT OVER NIGHT. ARE WE IN CONTACT WITH THE LIVING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is probably no possibility of the rules being changed officially, but individual players can and do concoct their own rules. For instance, the Queen may be endowed with knight powers to add spice to the game. That is one way to compensate for one player being weaker than the other.

my rule change would be to compensate for my unwillingness to provide kids with extra Queens. 

When I taught my neice and nephew, we played pawn chess. With each promotion they gained a new piece starting with the minor and up. It forced a new objective, survival. A bloodbath with pawns doesn't solve anything. They apply this same logic to their game, protecting pieces and creating an aggressive defense. When they started I limited their promotions to everything, BUT the Queen. I think they are better players for it. Just the other day my nephew did a Queen sacrifice in order to eventually mate his opponent. When I asked him why he would do that, he shrugs and says, "Queen's aren't everything." That was my own personal victory, but my experience with other children has not been as productive. I guess I'm lucky.

interesting idea, Mr. Morrison! I will definitely give your rules a thought as a beginner's exercise. 

Yes, because everyone knows publishers hate to have to put new books in print to sell. Who needs money, anyway?

Very good point, Ubik! Maybe the FIDE mafia is behind the booksellers and thus FIDE will make it happen! Just so that more books need to be sold! And think about all those grandmasters who will then be able churn out books on how to exploit the new rules! Who says there is no money in chess? But no change, no money, right?   

TS, you have not even master chess ,and yet you are getting an idea of rule change.

This is a silly idea. A captured piece is a dead piece. There is no way to revive it. The best thing would be to give the pawn more powers and that is what we're doing currently.

ps: just kidding

That rule, as well as a few others, was once active in part of the chess-playing world during the development of the game. So it's not new, but used and discarded.

I got an idea to commence a silly thread. I hardly need a master title for that. 

Sometimes what makes a game interesting is that it may contain elements that aren't rigidly interconnected with logic and are added to make the game not seem so boring.

I have never heard of a player who was regularly getting two queens, suddenly have a problem with the rule. I am theorizing this is the aftermath of another disgruntled player who needs to stop, take a step back and realize that, others play this game at an extremely high level and never let their opponent get a pawn across the board and win. It should be rather simple and straight forward what needs to happen for them next.

And yet I claim that it would still work nowadays. If it had not been discarded, people would think it is the only way to play and critisize me for suggesting free choice of promotion. People would not feel the need to turn over their rooks and most games would be the same as they are now. 

I watched a kid today with 2 queens and a rook play cat and mouse with the lonely king of the other kid. Making uneccessary moves just to prolong the other kid's pain a bit longer before the checkmate. This needs to stop. One colour set, one Queen. 

It's not that is won't work - it apparently worked fine for some time in some areas. But it does mean that the chance of the game reverting are slim to none.  However it might make a fine variant that people could play and enjoy.

Perish the thought that all those poor chess kiddies out there would no longer be able to execute their trademark finish, the mate with king and 5 queens against king....

With everyone in the room wide-eyed at the immense superiority shown by the five-Queen-prodigy with his opponent trembling, but summoning everything he's got to find the Holy Grail of chess redemption, stalemate.

My proposes: when the pawn get promoted he becomes a butterfly.

Another idea (in conjunction with other rule) is to promote the pawn to a new type of piece called a prince (if no captured pieces are available) which is a second king so that now you cannot just checkmate one king - you have to mate the prince too.

Alternatively the rule i prefer is this: Promote to choice of captured pieces or a new piece ICER which makes every opponent piece within 2 squares diagonally and vertically or horizontally frozen except for the king. You can only remove the freeze by capturing the ICER
