Beating your kids [in chess]

When I learned my dad never let me win, so I took it upon myself to learn, studied from some of Kasparov's books, and finally beat him. Once I did I thought I was so good at chess and it inspired me to join the chess club. I don't know if all kids are like this but that's what happened to me

My father taught me by letting me win, but it was never about winning or losing. It was a father-son pastime. Now when I play young children, I allow them to win and enjoy the satisfaction it brings them. I get no pleasure out of crushing inexperienced players. In tournament play that is a different story.

Crush them and tell them how they can beat you.

Are you talking about beating your kids in chess or beating them in real life

When I play my children in chess, I don't "let" them win. I have lost to my son a few times but only because I'm not very good at chess and he will go for the kill if he sees an opening. :-)

I don't think it's helpful for children to "win" and then later realize the adult was taking it easy on them. But I understand if other parents have different philosophies on that.
