My dad told me a story of how my grandpa stopped running against him the moment my dad became faster.

He then proceeded to stop playing chess after i beat him. Like he was making an educational point of it.

I love them both, i know them to be bright intelligent people but i will never understand the idea here. When my kids start to beat me at my own games i know i will be nothing but pride and encouragement. I want them to become better then i ever was, isn't that a point to be made instead?
