Should I stop beating my wife?

Okay here's the deal: I've been playing chess ever 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 22 years old now and I've been trying to teach my wife how to play chess. I help her train on internet chess against the computer. And I've played against her myself 3 times and I won every match convincingly. I can tell she's starting to get frustrated and doesn't really want to play anymore cause she can't beat me and she's very competitive. Should I just let her beat me a few times to renew hear interest and passion for chess?Should I stop beating my wife?

just once... maybe.. don't let her beat you multiple times in a row
*facepalm*.... fail



meh, maybe a few times just to get her into the game.
No!.. that would be cheating!!
You really need to watch the way you word your questions. What you asked implied that you were physically punching your wife; you can avoid this by saying "Should I stop beating my wife in chess?" That would avoid any misinterpretation.



As for the question itself, just have her practice more. That is the only way that she can get better and maybe even beat you. If you let her win, she didn't actually use her skills, so she doesn't have that many bragging rights. You can give her some tips and have her play against other, less challenging opponents, which can help increase her confidence, and even if she doesn't win against powerful opponents, you included, she can still learn from them and be a better chess-player overall. I hope that answers your question.
