But this isn't true. We know this because it has been stated many times.
Taichi's parents have always told him that he shouldn't waste his time competing if he wasn't sure he could win. So Karuta is his way to rebel from that philosophy, to grow out from what her mother imposed on him. That's why he plays, not for Chihaya. Of course, he would be really happy if Chihaya acknowledged his efforts, but that's not his ultimate goal. His goal is to become his own person, someone who isn't influenced by his parents.
