I've been playing chess for years. I've beaten a decent amount of people online. But I can never seem to beat my dad in chess. I thought I was ready after practicing for nearly 2 months. But I am not. I used to be unable to handle losing at chess to my dad when I was younger. But now that I am older, I've found coping mechanisms. I'm Indian, and this game is considered to be a big part of my dad and I relationship. Is there a psychological reason why I am unable to beat my dad in chess, if not, does anybody have any advice or games I should look at?
Show us your games. Just because I can beat my dad doesn't mean you can beat yours

Just looked at your last game. You hung your queen at move 7 for no reason. What have you been practicing? And why do you think you are ready?
