Permit I give my point of view.
First, please, keep in mind Chess and his variants are supposed to reflect a battle.

So in place to changing chess in a kind of gambling casino game, I suggest some light, soft modifications:

-Add to the Bishop and the Knight a vertical and horizontal move of one square.
Nomore those numerous stupid draw because "bishops on different colors squares";
Nomore draws because a Bishop or a Knight can't mate in case of K+B/N vs K.

- Stalemating the King opponent is considered as a win. What a non sense to call that a draw? The opponent King will be fired if he moves and you agree for a draw? Come on man!

- Who on the hearth, considering chess is the movie of a battle, could admit the Pawn movement is not ridiculous,? I suggest:
a) the Pawn move as it is now but can take vertically and diagonally. Where come from an infantry unit can't attack what is facing up?
b) Pawn can move backward. Why refuse a unit to drawback?

All that eliminate close to 99% of draw games and offer a new breath to our calculation with the satisfaction the picture of a battle is nearest.

Note: don't forget all those little, logical, ful of common sense modifications should be applied to Janus and Grand Chess for the pleasure of all of us.
