retire while im at the top of my game and never play again.
How to celebrate your first win over your brother or father?
Sort:
My Dad never played me again after I won. He just shrugged and said "There'd be no point. You've learned everything you can from me."
lol I've beeten my Dad a handful of times and we both just say good game and shake hands

When I play he has 10 minutes and I have 2.
He don't like playing anymore, with a win rate of about 25% (With the named time control. I often lose on time)

If my father was still around and I beat him in a good game, I would break out a couple of nice cigars, a bottle of Auchentoshen Three Wood or 18 Yr/Old and thank him for everything he taught me.

My father would probably still beat me and he's over 80
If my daughter ever beats me I'll tell her it's time she moved out and got her own place.
I hear many times how players keep losing to their brother or even worse they keep losing to their father. They get close but no cigar. He has been taking you to school in the opening for so long.
Ok when the day does come when they win should they do some wild victory dance and say things like In your face. Or Pops set it up again. Would taking photos of the checkmate be over the top. (Who is your daddy?) yeah that has to be too much. Do you run out to the street and say i just whupped my dad in a game of chess?
