My 10yo beat me at chess

Dec 291 min read

I taught him the rules like 2 months ago and we've been playing casually. Today he straight up checkmated me in like 18 moves. I might have thrown that game a little but not intentionally lol. He was so proud though. Bought him a better chess board and we're going to take lessons. This is why I had kids - to eventually be obsolete.

That's awesome. Now the real question is whether you let him win the next few games to keep him interested or go for the comeback.

Dude that's incredible! The fact that he went from learning the rules to beating you in 2 months is seriously impressive. You must be teaching him well.

Wait so did he checkmate you or just get you in check? Either way huge progress from two months ago.

Nothing better than watching your kids figure something out and then beat you at it. You're doing something right.

This is the best kind of dad loss. Congrats on raising a strategic thinker.
