I have a rather funny spectacular innocent inquiry: As a chess educator, teacher and a chess mom, do you sometimes prefer to make intentionally a weak move and lose to a student, rather than striving to win with all your might, putting in jeopardy your student’s motivation to continue progressing ?
I have an appointment for a game this week with an about 9 years old kid and I am facing this probable dilemma.
Thanks for giving us this forum for questions
Kindly and truly yours

Just a note to let you know how much you are appreciated.

Egaion,
Cosmo Kramer had the same problem in Seinfeld: “It is not the age that is important but the skill level”!

Hello Susan I noticed the wins Judit is racking up in her ongoing tournament. She has won at least 3 games with BLK!! Can you explain Judits excellent form? Has she been working extra hard, or is she just having a nice hot streak?
a fan ; )
Hi Susan,
Are you going to continue All-Star team for girls? If yes, when do you plan to announce it for this year?
