Topic: Should "stalemate" be considered a draw?

| Now that is a brilliant suggestion! |
I propose the following:
Kings and Queens may not capture pawns en passant. A Knight may do so only when castling is still possible by that side and where both players have agreed on this option at the start of the game.
Bishops may capture en passant after move 25, when there are no more than sixteen pieces on the board. Rooks may do so only when ten moves have been played by each side without any Queen activity.

@Once: Done! Welcome to the movement! But can a knight still e.p. after his team castling?
Then again, stalemate does leave a bit of a moral burden on the perpetrator, doesn't it? All those hopes of an easy win dashed, I mean... people can get sued for that, can't they? Perhaps the player with the most toys should be awarded a Moral Victory, if they accept the handling costs of about 50 rating points...

I call for the removal of all castling restrictions.
A player may castle any number of times during a game as long as he has at least one Rook remaining. Regardless of the positions of either the King or the Rook, a player may perform this manoeuvre thus:
1. He places his King on the first rank on either corner square of the board.
2. He places his chosen Rook on the first rank, immediately next to the King.
Further, a player may castle out of check, through check or even into check. If a player castles into check, he immediately loses the game.
Here White, in check, wins easily by castling King-side.
