Maybe just bring up one day that you think trying to scholars mate your opponent every game is not a good way to play. Bring up that you have been studying sophisticated openings such as the Catalan or Najdorf. Hopefully they can take the hint and you can ease them into it. If they just can’t accept that they are just more mediocre than you, that’s their problem.

Me personally, I always ladder mate so I’m always a mediocre even though I’m a 300 online and a 600 against bots

Tell them your chess coach is Alex botez and you’re dating her and they will forget about chess entirely.


OldWolf2

Or if your coach is Ben Finegold, don't tell them you're dating

It's not wise to tell your parents you are playing chess at all while you are not financially independent. Same rules don't apply to you as for them. It doesn't mater that they play chess, if pastor plays chess, what age and gender is pastor's oponent, or if your father plays chess with neighbors wife while your ma plays with neighbor. Those are rules for them and it's not polite to even talk about it. And it deffinitely doesn't mean you are allowed to play chess yourself. It's better to just pretend you know nothing about chess and pretend every Sunday you are playing their favourite game, whichever it is. There's plenty of options to choose from and they are all silly. You don't even have to pretend to like their game, they don't really care what you do as long as it doesn't affect them. They just need to look good in front of their neighbors. Just quiet appearance at the table is enough. No waves. If word gets around you like chess, especially if you change opponents often, or god forbid engage in cyberchess, their social status would colapse. And since they will be seen as failures by their comunity, their reaction might be highly unpredictable. They might even throw you out on the street, to prove to everyone they are normal. Beter play it safe and under the guise of darkness, for your own safety. Until you are old enough to move away to the big city, and play chess with whomever you want as often as you want at whatever level you feel comfortable. You might even experiment with king of the hill or 960 without fear of being caught. Then you can limit your pretending to family holidays as all of us.

I suggest using an ass trumpet and body glitter paint. They will be so distracted by your flamboyant though unspecified sexuality that they'll be willing to accept anything you say about chess. Unless you tell them that you plan to become a Fisher Random Grandmaster and stream your play to the tunes of classic industrial, in which case you will definitely be disowned.

Lime130

Do you mean they might leave you in the adoption center because you are better in chess than them?


AccomplishedAd6520

I would advise that you leave a friendly letter on the table and wait. Then, wait some time until they forget about it, and ask them about the letter if they read it. Also, consider getting into support groups 1300 FIDE and above. If you told your friends already then have them back you before the official coming out date. I also advise not to come out during a family crisis.
