We are a gaming family. We love all kinds of board games, card games and just games in general. Ken grew up playing Chess with his dad and now he's teaching the boys how to play. Shane's pretty good and Owen's coming along.
But usually they will only play Chess with Ken. Never each other. Um. Hello. That is why we had two kids. Duh. But the day has finally come. Shane agreed to play Owen in chess.
Shane gets a little frustrated especially when Owen moves and captures his own piece but everyone has to learn. Ken finished up this game for Owen (shiny object, anyone?) but at least we have a break through. Hopefully Shane will continue to play Chess with Owen.
But, Shane better be careful because he's under estimating Owen. And one day Owen will beat Shane. And I guarantee you that it will not be because Shane let him win.
That is not in our family's genetics. If you win, you win fair and square. Just ask Ken. He'll tell you. ;)

Ken definately passed the competitive gene to the boys!
Yes. I see it in Shane with his tennis. When I wouldn't let him win last week, he took the ball and drove it down straight at me. We had a nice little chat about using your competitiveness for good. Not evil. Oh...I got out of the way of the ball.
