So I’ve played close to 700 games of chess this summer and my rating is around 1500 (chess.com) after around 2 years. My dad has only ever played chess casually with my siblings, grandfather, once or twice at parks I mean I’m talking max 3-4 games a year until this summer where I’ve played around 25 games with him. When we play it’s like playing an engine, I mean he absolutely slams me. How is it that he can be this good even though he barely plays? Whenever I try and encourage him to join a chess club he just tells me he only enjoys playing because it’s against me (or my family members). He’s also 63 for reference.
