I can sympathize. My mother introduced me to chess, and we both used to have fun when we were casual playing chess noobs. But ever since I decided to get good (as in better than my mom, which is like 600 elo lmao) she , understandably, never wants to play anymore, because I always decimate her and I understand that that’s not fun for her.

I used to like playing chess with my dad but our relationship has become strained…

Why? You don’t have to answer 

Jalex13
Don’t have to answer what?

Why it has became strained

Jalex13
Divorce, lying, hiding, cheating, purposefully doing something to hurt my older sister (not physically), etc.

I sometimes miss it too. My husband is about 1400 rated, and we played a handful of games when I was 1600 a couple years ago. I handicapped myself by playing openings that I didn’t really know at the time, he notched a couple wins and a draw. I made sure to record those games. I like replaying them every once in a while.

Um, I only used to play chess with my bros, and I found out about chess.com from them. They are much higher rated than me. Lol
