Has your wife ever asked to play you?

My fiancee has suggested that I teach her how to play sometime.

She never seems to have the time or the desire to actually get down to learn though.

Oh well.

I've been married for 5 months and living together for 2 years. I have desperately wanted her to play chess with me.

I came up with a brilliant idea... I took some of the things that she hates that I do (not wash my towels often enough, wear the same pjs every night) and bet her that if she could beat me in a game I would stop doing one of these things.

She'll play ever once in a while... but I'm still wearing the same pants =)

I have been trying to get my wife to play with me, with two boys(1&3) it is hard to find the time.

I gave her a two rook advantage and after 6 moves she says she is tired.

Impossible creatures for sure.

I would sloughter her!! If you spend a lot of time playing chess only to be able to beat her barley then she has all the more reason to kick you off this so called "stupid game" If you let her win she knows u let her. I usually shoot for a draw.
