My 7 year old student would whip your ass. Play in a tournament and you’ll know how much you suck.I don't f'n know(!).
We didn't have chess coaches where I come from for christ-sake.
They would have probably gotten beat up by the white kids runnin' with the homies.
Just because.
I've never lost though. Well maybe a few times.
That's why I like trading so much, I can't win all the time.
Pisses me off.
Chess coaches were rare when I played as a kid. Scholastic chess wasn’t organized as it is today.
Everything is competitive for kids now. Chess, math, science, etc. I don’t see it as progress. I help where I can. Not everything is about trading and making money.
