Chill out, dude

Today, my son displayed an interest in chess, and asked me to teach him to play. Five minutes in, I captured his queen. He screamed "SCREW THIS STUPID GAME", slammed his fist down on his pieces, and started crying because of the pain. He's fourteen years-old. FML

This is why you play chess on the Internet.

... Can your son and I be anger management buds? It sounds like we have a lot in common!

That's how you know your son will never be a chess master.

I feel bad for the sap who chooses to play Monopoly with him.

The way I learned was to play a bunch of games with only pawns then working my way up with more pieces. It must be hard to go and try to understand how to use each piece well at once.

Unless it's chess-boxing. You can be hurt twice as much.

I agree with you. But it's also true that OP raised him

Sounds like a pretty bad knight, but it was a obviously a rookie mistake. You should have checked to make sure his temper wasn't so short, mate. Maybe you should teach your young oppawnent some sportsmanship first.
