In a sense, the rules of chess are frequently changed - speed chess, chess-boxing, Cheshire Cat chess, etc.

- jacquesm 12y agoI would consider those 'variations' rather than rule changes.
- blowski 12y agoIn baseball, the rules were not being 'changed' they were just being applied inconsistently because of human limitations. The umpire (or is it referee in baseball) is just another player - human and error-prone. When 'he' (is there a 'she'?) becomes a faultless, indisputable 'it', then that part of the game is lost. Even in chess, these problems exist. Think of Bobby Fischer moaning about the cameras in 1972.
