What do you all think about when you play a chess nooby???

Play the best moves you can, don't instill bad habits in your opponent by playing sub-optimal moves.  There is no point teaching them incorrect sacrifices and poor, trappy defensive maneuvers.

The only thing I let them do that I wouldn't let a better player do is take back moves that are serious blunders, or mention to them that they have a tactic, but I let them find it for themselves so they actually learn.

that chid has found a love for the game and i thank him for giving her that
