ORIGINAL: Theservileone Me and my Mistress play chess from time to time and I always win and not to be mean but if you saw her playing you'd think she needs a few lessons I've offered but she's very stubborn one of the things I like about her. The only problem my pride wont allow me to let her win and I don't think it'd be fair to her I think she'd even be upset with me if I let her win. Although I haven't been a chess player in years, I never LET somebody win and my pride had nothing to do with it. Chess is one of those things that you only get better at by losing. My brother has been avoiding playing the game with me for well over forty years because while I never did beat him, he's known that if he ever plays me again, I'd demolish him. With nearly every intelligent person I've ever played a lot with, if I always won at first, eventually, I never won. They learned all my tricks, while I was learning nothing, and figured out how to beat all my tricks. I'm not a mistress, don't play one on CM, but if I were and I got the slightest impression you were "letting" me win, I would be PISSED. I hope she gets much joy out of eventually beating the pants off you every time, because she will have EARNED it. Edited to correct errors.
