My GM Mom Challenged Me To A Chess Match Again

[@rrebello80]

Your mom has a peculiar way of trash talking. She's calm, polite and provides a lot of interesting insights during the game.

[@josephsmallidge5556]

It’s the mid match coaching for me😂

[@xezazase]

It's scary in its own way though, isnt it? Like a Dr. explaining the surgery as she performs it.

[@OutdoorsWithChad]

@@xezazase I know right? Like she's kicked Anna's butt so many times before its just a routine procedure now.

[@Farmington_River_Rods]

Doesn’t come across as trash talking at all. It’s the mother daughter relationship. just a mom teaching her daughter. Very cool.

[@eugenethompson2352]

Trash talking?r u dumb or deaf.

its such a striking differance from Anna's loud and enthusiastic voice to Pia's calm and quiet voice

[@TechnoMageB5]

You are blessed to have a wonderful mentor and player in your mom. I used to play my dad all the time until college, when I went down a piece but then forced a draw through perpetual check - the first time he ever played me serious and _didn't_ win. He was never "in the mood" to play against me since, which was unfortunate - but we recently reconciled that, I think. A little before he turned 80 this past July, the topic came up, and I told him this: dad, you do realize, even if you continued to play me and lost, you still won, right? He was like, how so? I said, remember, you're the one who taught me that one of the objectives of a parent is for their offspring to do (on average) a little better than themselves. So if by practicing against you, I eventually learned to beat you, you still won in that respect. I'm _supposed_ to exceed your accomplishments, remember? At least I got a chuckle out of him... As for you, I wouldn't be too disappointed in not being able to defeat one of the best grandmasters of her time on the regular. When that power/achievement graph starts pushing the upper limit... It's kind of like someone getting 5 perfect test scores in a row - hard to match, let alone beat (now you need 6 minimum), hence upper limit. At that point, being competitive with such a person is itself a great achievement. And, after all, you _did_ take one game...! ;-)

[@Rashu88]

Parents should be happy for their kids when they excel at something, even if it requires seeing yourself beaten. Else how would you expect them to excel at anything ever? It seems abit to me that your dad stunted your growth by ceasing to play with you, instead of praising your development

[@lounisphotography]

it was so cute how she asked her mother for advice about a move. Her mother is still the master and the student has not taken over yet...

[@stevem437]

The student will never take over. Pia is a ridiculously good chess player.

[@MightyCats2011]

Eventually her mother will reach 80. They lose quick thinking as they get older then student will take over

[@Solitude1990]

Playing with your kid is a feeling that cannot be described, even more intense of a feeling when they finally win against you. I hope Anna knows how fortunate she is that this is the mother she has. The moment I won a game against my mother(I was 6-7), she never played with me again. She hated losing more than she loved me winning. Her mother teaches her and goes for the weak spot to teach her to practice the things she hates most, because that's exactly what her opponent will try to do
