My question is: Is it more possible for free will to exist if chance exists?
I am not sure about this one. I think that it depends on exactly what sort of chance there is. For example, if the only chance is produced by minuscule particles (smaller than electrons) which move in a truly random manner, then that does not mean that free will exists. If one could reverse time and repeat a decision, the result might well be different, but only because the causes behind the decision were different due to the random particle movement. If, however, chance means something more extensive, then it might conceivably make free will possible. I am not certain, however, what sort of chance this would be. Perhaps chance causing some things (like free will) to be able to break the laws of the universe? If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd like very much to hear them.
