As opposed to allowing her to checkmate me in scrabble?
would u allow ur girlfriend to checkmate u in chess?

I've been married to him 23 years and I'm still checkmating him. Apparently he thinks it's okay. (Though he did win our first game together, in 1985.)

Someone needs to ask this question to pro chess playersHehehe.
I wonder if Kasparov lets his kids win or his wife.

If your girlfriend is also equally caught up with chess, you have bigger problems like unpaid bills, dirty dishes, a dog that needs walking ...

Yes , But only if it led to having sex right afterwards
I'd also be ok with it if she promised to buy me something afterward. But as far as I understand that's not how most relationships work.

Maybe, maybe not. My gf learned to play in the last few months and we have fun playing. Neither of us ignores our responsibilities due to our games.
To the op, no, I would not "allow" her to cm me, but, when she does, it will be a proud moment for both of us.
possibly
