Playing chess

My nephew wanted to play. I should just to spend some time with him, but I don’t find it fun anymore. When I was a kid, I’d play against my dad; and I enjoyed improving and learning to read moves ahead. I was happy to have beat him twice, like that was some great accomplishment. Nowadays, I can’t think that far ahead. I mean, I’d probably get it back with practice, but I don’t want to. It’s not the same thrill.

“No one wants to play with you, River, because you’re not graceful when you win,” my sister tells him.

That’s not it. I actually think his flexing and trash talk is funny. Aw…he asked me if I wanted to play. I should even if I really don’t enjoy the game anymore. Someday, he won’t even bother to ask me if I want to play, will he? Might as well spend the time while the time exists.

I stopped asking my grandpa when I was a kid. I didn't like losing and when the game only lasts 3 moves it isn't fun
@Justafantasy Yeah, there’s no room for improvement if they’re that brutal.
