Have today's chess rules attained perfection, or can they still be
improved in some way, leading to an enhanced variability? What would
happen if the castle move was modified? I suggest the following.

Extended castle: when castling the king may jump *three*
squares, but it can also jump two as usual. The rook ends up on its
usual square. In Chess with Extended Castle, queenside castle will
occur more often as this practically gains a tempo compared with
standard chess, where the king nearly always moves again to the knight
file. Certain opening systems might benefit from the extended castle,
such as the King's gambit, the Wienna Game, or the Dutch Defence.
Especially, the queenside castle systems in the Sicilian would be
improved.

Obviously, if this little rule change could infuse new life into the
King's gambit, then chess would benefit greatly.
