Don’t. Always listen, obey, and be patient with your gf.

At this point, you just have to choose your GF or your ego. The choice is up to you.

If you're gf is mad at you because you beat her

Chess ain't for her

If you wanna play chess, you gotta learn to loose

I have a friend who has like 2000 fide rating (no cap) and I beat him online once because his internet disconnected, i expected him to like slap me and order a rematch but, he just said it's okay and now we play offline and he thrashes me in like 30 moves, but I'm ok with that

Why does no one know how to spell lose? I know loose is a homophone, but still?

I just spell lose when I use it in that context.

George aint italian name, try harder

Now you are being racist, too.

Racism requires disrespect at the least. Identifying a name as not common among a particular nationality is not racism.

Besides, Italian is not a race.

Get a grip.

Erm, askhually 🤓🤓👆according to my calculations, a race is categorizing a group of people which means that categorizing people who are born in Italy is actually a race. And George can still be Italian while being George. 🤓🤓🤓

When it comes to letting anyone win the answer has to be no. Like already mentioned they would feel deceived and it could wreak the whole dynamic and enjoyment of playing. The better player likes playing because they win and it gives them some practice, the more inexperienced player is keen because they are up against a better player so keep playing and the first win will be a big achievement. I always dreamed of marrying a snooker player. Someone better than me so I would never get tired of playing her. Ces't la vie.

Specify before the game if there is advice/takebacks so you can point out bank rank mates and other obvious blunders but bear in mind it can easily overload them so give them the option before a game to choose if they are playing with help or without help.

No, you shouldn't let her win imo. If you respect her you should play your best. I give my lady queen odds when we play to make it more fun for us and it works out.

When playing a practice game against a beginner, I often let them take back no more than 3 moves and I also tell them why their move was a blunder by costing them a piece or a pawn. Strategic errors like early Rook pawn moves, premature Queen moves, moving a piece multiple times in the opening for no good reason, etc. are allowed to "stay". With the more serious kids I work with, I encourage the recording of moves even though I record them myself so as to acclimate them in doing so as this is a tournament rule.
