I have great fun playing chess with a friend who easily has 600 ELO on me. Before we start each game, we agree it will be one of three types:
1. No holds barred. (I always lose, but nearly won once when they were very distracted.)
2. Like no holds barred, except I can take back my previous move && they sometimes offer “Are you sure that was the best move?” when I’ve done something especially wrong.
3. Them vs. them + me, where I have full access to their skills and knowledge. They suggest moves, and I can ask whether a move is/was a good move, what move they would make, etc. This unsurprisingly results in a 50/50 win rate.
This has been very useful for learning because it balances out the learning with just enough “winning” to keep the game fun.
