Do you mention that you play chess to girls? I never used to until this one time I was at a party talking to this girl when another person came up and was like "Hey you're the chess guy!"  (i'm president of a club) and the girl thought that was really cool and it started a great conversation afterwards.

No I haven't tried that during a date yet. Then again I've never actually gone on a date 🤔

I mean, yes, peace.

But if your second move is done by your Queen, I will kill her although.

Well we play chess so why hide it to a girl?

You will look more handsome if you mention that you play chess like a Pro!

For me I love to mention that I am working so hard on chess!

Update: Met my current girlfriend after she saw me playing chess at starbucks and asked me questions about it.

Chess is a chick magnet.

My wife and I have been together since 1998. I played in a chess tournament the weekend after our first date and called her between rounds on Sunday. Pretty sure that I mentioned chess at dinner on Friday.

I've been on about half a dozen 'dates' in my life. I had a gf that played chess occasionally. If I ever met anyone now and they asked me what I did in my free time, I'd have to mention it. I do nothing else...

i love chess, even though i stink at it. i'm not great at baseball, but i like watching it. i'm a golf pro and that is my #1 passion. if your partner has an issue with the things you like, maybe you shouldn't be together.

Do any women tell a guy they play chess on a first date?

It would be a wonderful idea, you can tell a lot about someone by playing chess with him/her.

Sorry to say this but playing chess is not feminine... and sometimes being a girly girl who has a masculine trait is a turnoff... to some guys. So as a precaution, I don't really want to appear 'masculine' when I first meet a guy...

those men probably not worth your time.

No one really comes here for practical life advice.

My girl is already mad that I spend more time with the pawn than with her(:
