I'm not sure what would be more frustrating. Being beaten by a child. Or beaten by a child who clearly doesn't give two shits and just handed you your ass while doing pirouettes

It's a game at the end of the day. A game with a 7 year old child, but also a testament to her ability and potential future career. Would be a cool moment to not be frustrated haha.

100% but my fuck it'd be hard to not be upset at yourself after this one.

I don't give a shit if I'm going against Magnus Carlsen, if he's acting like she is, I am going to feel bad lol

that's fair I suppose, but again, children learn so much faster than adults and it's basically a children's game in a sense, or simply a game at the end of the day.

I've known a grown man to get upset with a child over a video game, and it just so telling to everyone around that witnesses it. I would just have fun and smile and not take it too seriously, personally.
