I think the best thing that can be done for human vs human chess is to reduce the number of draws.
I think this can be done with a very simple rule change:
In a draw, instead of a both players receiving half a point, one player will randomly receive a full point. The expected value of a draw is still the same (0.5 points per draw) but I think it does change the psychology of it.
