As for my boys they love to play chess and my youngest son is very good at the game of chess. My youngest son is fighting many disabilities so it really surprise me to know that he is good a chess.

For many children, winning is the point of the activity. We had family friends when the boys were small and their son ALWAYS had to be first at everything. He would ride his bike ahead of the group, walk in front of everyone, and suffered terribly if he didn\’t win at any game we played. Part of this is egocentrism – part of this is temperament. Learning to be a gracious loser and a humble winner is a lifelong task for many people.

My son likes to play if he wins but if he is not winning forget it.
