KeithC trapper K Joined: May 2009 Champaign County, Ohio.	I used to love playing chess as a kid, but unless I would throw games fairly often, none of the other kids and most adults wouldn't play me. I wasn't a gloating or bad winner, but people don't like losing all the time. I almost always win all strategy games unless I intentionally handicap myself or just outright throw them. When the people I am playing "win", a lot of them do gloat, which is annoying and when they then stop winning, they usually won't play anything again. Keith

She said she beat her husband all the time and wanted some new competition. I check mated her in 4 moves. She never saw it coming. She was devastated and didn't want to play a second game. I felt really bad about it. I never thought she wouldn't see what I was up to. LOL Randy

The article below is from the La Crosse Tribune in 1954. She was just awarded the United States Women's Correspondence Chess Champion with a perfect score of 6-0. The game had started in 1951. She had a showcase full of trophies and was very proud of 'em. After she had a stroke she asked me to bring a chess board up to the hospital room. We played and she beat me. She said don't ever do that again. She knew I had not played my game. The next time I beat her and that was the last time she played chess. Lifetime member of WTA and NTA

I had a PLT SGT in Iraq, he was awesome he would play 3 or 4 of us at a time and he rarely lost. we had foldable tables and would box him in and he would just use a rolling chair and move from board to board playing. I never won a single game but we played every chance we got. sometimes it was fun just watching him whip another sucker than just whipping me every week.
