"work smarter, not harder"

...or: If you can't win the game, change the rules.

sweh routinely beats me at chess, and often beats me at backgammon, two of our regular forms of relaxation (particularly when playing for kinky stakes of various kind). This means I lose a lot, which vexes me.

So instead, tonight: dominoes! Where pure chance evens our intellectual gap!

Being a just and beneficent Mistress, however, I let him choose...after losing to me by 51 points...whether he wanted that many swats or that many minutes locked up.

I am feeling insufferably smug about this.

So, when you beat him at dominos, you really beat him at dominos? You should get one of those frat paddles and paint it black with white pips.
