Shades of Trev and Hydey.
The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
Hydey the no-limits man.

Hmm, so much for going easy on him.
I take it you're more of an old school kind of guy that doesn't feel the need to let the boy win for his self esteem.
RAHIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

We're playing for fun but he's learning too. I don't offer advice but I answer his questions.
Lesson 1: Humans play better than the ai. So don't attack them until ready. This lesson will be demonstrated rather than explained

You have to strike a balance between completely crushing the kid and thus his interest in the game, and making it too easy where he's sure to smell a rat.
You are right - This is something I learned from playing with Hydey.

Yes it's always a tough balance. Something that I don't always succeed at, as demonstrated by my daughter's refusal to play me in certain games.

I played my dad in table tennis a couple of times a week for about 6 years before I won a game. It made it worth it.Originally posted by rah

We never did beat him. (of course when he got to old, he stopped playing) I agree, it makes it more worth it.Originally posted by Makeo

The current fashion of giving every kid participating trophies really sucks.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

My daughter has a whole box full of them. She won't display them due to her disdain for them, but she won't let me throw them out. I just don't see the point.
And it degrades actually winning. You get a trophy for winning and it doesn't seem to mean as much when EVERYONE else gets one.
The pussifying of America.
