Okay here's the deal. I've been playing chess since I was 8 years old. My dad taught me how to play and made me enter tournaments. At first, I hated it but it grew on me fast and I devoted myself to it and became a very solid chess player. I'm 21 years old now and I've trying to teach some chicks how to play chess. I train them on internet chess against computer opponents. I've played a few matches against them myself and won every match convincingly. I can tell they're starting to get frustrated and doesn't really want to play anymore 'cause they can't beat me and they're very competitive. Should I just let them beat me a few times to renew their interest and passion for chess?

Letting them win won't teach them anything. They'll know you let them win, too. Instead, tell them your thought process and ask them theirs. Have them analyze the situation (or each other's situations) so they can learn by brainstorming, while you correct errors in their thought processes. Unlike fighting games and the like, Chess has no randomness and no luck, so the "chances" of them beating you really have nothing to do with "chance" to begin with. Just keep tutoring them and remind them that losses will always happen, but that certainly doesn't mean they're bad.
Also, you should always beat your women. That's what they're for. bow chika bow wow

Invite them for a chat over Skype. Don't say a word to them, just play the game and play to win. When the game is over, wait a few seconds to hear her reaction. Proceed to bring your mic as close to your hands as possible, and slowly crack both of your knuckles.
You may not understand, but they will. Trust me.

You should cheer them on to try harder. That way you can keep beating women without them getting sad about it.

no clue why this is in the funhouse but don't let them win, its an empty gesture and that will only breed contempt from them
and yes you should continue to beat off to women
