im telling my sister chess is fun but she won't play it can you help me convince her to play?

any ideas?

Years ago, I felt the same way about convincing family members to play chess. Feeling like you are begging them isn't the way to do it. The reality is that you can't force them to play and enjoy it. It's like the saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink."

The best you can do is let your sister see how fun chess can be for you and create the environment for them to try if interested, but there's a good chance they'll never be interested and that's their choice to make.

The same is true for chess-loving parents wanting to get their children into chess. You have to have them around the chess environment. Maybe play with the chess pieces, or see you playing chess; let them get interested naturally and create a fun learning environment for them if they do show interest, but some will never show interest and that's their decision for themselves.

do you have a way to get her to try because she won't even try it

If she doesn't want to try it, then trying to force her to try is more likely to make her not want to play. You really can't do anything to make them try; all you can do is create the right environment and be encouraging if she does want to try.

okay

i will let her decide if she wants to play or not

if not its okay

Go to chess events, and eventually if she likes you she will join, or say you will give her $100 if she beats you, and who could say no?

Don't push it too much.

maybe

😎 Dude, just show her some GothamChess videos...

Tell her I'll go out with her if she plays.
