how to get my wife to fall in love with chess?

she doesnt like it

GOOD LUCK!

If you ever find out, please report back here.  You'll be a hero to husbands everywhere.

Try telling here that if she beats you you will treat here to a steak dinner or do something for here that she would love like taking here to a comedy club.

(P.S. I'm a young adult that is not married I'm not sure what your wife or any other married women would enjoy from there husband as a reward.)

(P.S.S. this serves as a disclaimer please do not quote anything that I may have posted thank you.)

Lucky woman...

Use chessmen made from chocolate. She keeps what she captures.

A diamond encrusted set of chess pieces perhaps?

Hmmm...

Tell her there's something about the first time you met her that you hadn't ever told her before because you thought she might think it was silly then.

But the moment you laid your eyes on her for the first time, something inside you knew this was the woman you would spend the rest of your life with together. 

You'd share all the good times and even the bad times faithfully, in love.

(The world disappears when you are with her and it's like you and her are just in this bubble where it's only the two of you.)

The part that really sounds silly though, is when you began to imagine growing old with her, that you were still playing chess just like when you got married.

The only bad part is, until now, you still haven't played chess together yet!

The same "knowing" that led you to find her in the first place is the same one that compels you with your desire to play chess together with her now.

Something so good that it put the two of you together, couldn't be wrong.

Could it?

Of course not.

And she is in love with you and you're in love with her, right?

Of course you are. And we believe that.

Anyways, just tell her you'd knew she'd understand because you know she is truly in love with you and it's not just an act.

And that you knew she'd play chess with you. Besides if something as simple as playing chess with you is all it takes to let you know she loves you, then it's not too much to ask and you shouldn't feel guilty asking for what you want in an honest relationship built on mutual trust no matter who might have motives for wanting you to feel guilty about it. I don't think she wants you to feel guilty about telling her what you want.

What you have done is now anchored the game of chess with her feelings of:

1. love

2. being in love

3. you

4. being in love with you

5. her future with you years later when growing old together*

(*and the security that comes along with it )

If there's anything a woman knows she wants in life,

it's security.

And you have now created a neuro association linking the realization of what she wants with playing chess with you.

But before you ask her, first ask her for something ridiculous that you think would be way too much to ask of her.

If she accepts, just icing on the cake.

If she declines, then explain you were only teasing her about that and wouldn't really ask that of her, but that you do have a request.

Then ask her to start playing and studying chess with you.

Most people don't like to turn down requests, so there's a higher probability she'll accept the more reasonable request of playing chess with you after you first ask her the unreasonable one.

This tactic is known as the red herring tactic.

You ask her to help you murder someone or something unreasonable and then it's, "I'm only kidding, but I do want you to start playing chess with me."

The playing chess doesn't seem like such a big deal compared with spending life in prison. So she's conditioned to accept it as a natural response to finding relief from the unpleasantness of declining the original request.

Show her some pics of Grischuk and Bacrot.

Lol. Forget about it, I know of a couple of men who introduced their wife to chess and after the better half became 200 points better, I never saw them at a tournament again!

If she doesn't like it, she aint gonna fall in love with it.

Maybe try to get her to merely accept it as a part of your life.

Doesn't WGM Pogonina and her husband Peter Zhdanov have a book about this subject? (Chess Kama Sutra) 

Isn't that just a PR thing to get in media. It was enormously talked about when it was said everywhere that she was publishing a book comparing sex positions and chess positions, but I doubt that book ever will be written.

You should certainly not try Lovechess; I just find a video about this computer chess program. Perverted.

Who cares if she likes chess or not? Why do you think that most women aren't interested in chess? What does chess have to do with style, fashion, gossip, money, chocolate, flowers, pedicures, reality TV and the Kardashians? You should make sure that she stays happy so you can enjoy chess. There are other things that you can do with your wife. Figure it out.

Opening of this subject has been refuted.
After 1. ''How about some chess?''?!; ''No thanks!''
2. ''It's super fun and we can spend more time together'';  ''No, it's boring and I have better things to do''
white can try Paris Gambit with famous Beaujolais trap
3. ''I can buy a bottle of good wine and I promise it'll be very romantic'' wife can respond with 3. ... "OMG, Percival, you are so romantic, I so want to learn this game right here right now"?! (Paris Gambit accepted) and white is winning although the opening is full of traps and white has to play correctly to win.

However, wife can respond with 3. ...''Percival, stop it already!!''(Paris gambit declined). White can play dubious Hot coworker attack 4. "OK then, I'll play with my superhot coworker, I'm calling her right now"?! however, white's chances of mating ever again decreases rapidly.
Best response for white is 4. "OK honey, look I bought you a box of chocolates"!! white is ok but he shouldn't have played the first move anyway...

You have the right idea of how the situation will play out you must be great at blind folded chess.

@Daniel
The reason why I know this opening so well is that I analyzed it deeply after series of ugly defeats.

So then how many queens have you had by your side thrue out your carear as a king on the chess board of life.

popopop1234567890 asks - "how to get my wife to fall in love with chess?, she doesnt like it."

Your question shows that unfortunately you are a very low rated player at "romantic life." That's OK we all start somewhere. You see, there is more to life than chess. Women are one of those "more" things. You're married, that's a good start. Do not think of chess when you are with your wife. This will go a long way toward having a happy marriage.

@Daniel

on the chessboard of life I'm not the king I'm something like a knight on A8 square so the answer is irrelevant
