My GM Dad Challenged Me To A Chess Match

[@crazyspace6792]

I like to imagine that her Dad moves slowly in everything he does and then goes rapid fire when he plays her in chess.

thats exactly what i was thinking xD

I always find it so wholesome after Anna plays her parents and asks questions after the matches and they always explain the position to her. Such a sweet family

[@budg.6094]

Agreed. Very positive family dynamics on display. Same thing with her mom.

[@nephisto2]

It's cool how competitive he is. How fast he goes for the clock shows just how committed to winning he is. That's against his daughter. I wonder how he felt about playing in the higher stakes venues.

[@tonydesmet7389]

Hahaha, I now understand why Anna always underlines that it is her mom that taught her to play chess. Her dad would have killed all her motivation and enthusiasm for the game by totally crushing her over and over again 😀

[@jessehardin8500]

I was hanging out with some ppl and there was a chess board. So I asked if anybody knew how to play and this 12 yr old girl said she did. I asked her if she was any good and her mom and this other woman that was there started talking about how good she was and most likely she'd beat me so I scholar mated her twice in a row. Then I taught her how to do it and defend then I played her normally.

[@gollarithwik4623]

Even if she did her dad will back counter because his parents were the ones who taught her everything about chess
