Play Someone You Know You Can Beat Easily or Don't Play at All?

If it's OTB and you have no internet, then what other choice do you have?  Play chess or don't.  That's simple!

If playing OTB then depending on your relationship with them, you can use it as a teaching aid or consider playing a handicap - eg time differential if you use clocks, or submit a piece - start with 3 pawns (eg a minor piece) and reduce the handicap as they beat you! (or increase if they can't)

@rMr.Bob is apparently 14 years old.  What does that make us?  Bosom buddies on the edge of a cliff?  Delightful.

We are not worthy, @Bob.  More power to you!   

The @Bobster is in his salad years.  Still feeling his oats.

Any other mixed metaphors we might judiciously add?
