There is less chance of something OR There are fewer chances of something? How do you think? Chance is countable or not???

Both are correct, depending on what you mean by 'chance'. There is less chance = lower probability There are fewer chances = fewer opportunities 'Chance' has several meanings, some countable and some uncountable. [ btw The question is 'What do you think?', rather than 'How do you think?']

Chance is a countable noun. So you can say: There are fewer chances of something happening. However, you can also say: There is a lesser chance of something happening. Both phrases have the same meaning, the first one just emphasizes there might be more possible chances, and the second indicates just one. I also added “happening” at the end because it’s more natural to say. Hope that helps!
