Saludos queridas madres y padres de Hive, hoy vengo a contarles una experiencia de mucha alegría para mi hijo Rafael y para mi, pues hace unos 20 días atrás luego de que yo hiciera un set de Ajedrez a crochet , mi niño se sintió muy interesado en aprender a jugar, yo no he sido una jugadora habitual, la última vez que jugué fue cuando era niña , sin embargo, conozco me las reglas del juego por lo que me propuse a enseñarle.
Greetings dear mothers and fathers of Hive, today I come to tell you about an experience of great joy for my son Rafael and for me, because about 20 days ago after I made a set of crochet Chess, my son felt very interested in learn to play, I have not been a regular player, the last time I played was when I was a child, however, I know the rules of the game so I set out to teach him.
I didn't have time every day, but when I finished my homework early, at night I played with Rafael, I thought that so many rules would be difficult for him to memorize, but again I laughed at my naivety, honestly these children now seem to come more awake than before 😅 he quickly learned the moves, but since I didn't always have time to play we decided to download a chess game on his tablet and he started practicing there, it's worth saying that Rafael has restricted the use of the tablet only one hour a day, after fulfilling his learning activities with me, so he would sometimes use his time to watch videos and only play a few minutes, but his interest in chess kept growing, until one very happy day showed me that I could already beat the tablet in easy mode.
We kept playing with the crochet Chess set, that's why I told him I would buy him a plastic one just for him, so today I found the most adorable chess set I've ever seen, it's just 12x12 cm, that's what he wants say that we can take it everywhere with us and we can play while we wait in a queue or even when we go to visit our friends @yetsimar and @tsunsica, also the set is magnetized, this feature was what Rafael liked the most, since it can completely flip the board without the small pieces falling to the ground, what surprised me was to find this in my city, because although it is a common game here sometimes you can't get the most basic things in stores, also the price made me laugh, it cost 12.4 Bolívares, that is to say less than 2 dollars 😁 “so much fun for such a low price”
So today there were no work excuses, I played with Rafael and we spent a large part of the afternoon doing it, it is worth mentioning that Rafael had never beaten me in a game, until today he beat me for the first time, I must say it with complete Sincerity, I take the game seriously and not because I am a child I am going to let him win, that is, my intention is that he learns from defeat and each day his skills grow more, I am not an expert player as I mentioned before, but obviously as an adult I constantly beat my 7-year-old boy, but today in a small oversight on my part, I ignored for a moment the location of his horse and he checkmated my king 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he seriously beat me , his joy was tremendous, he jumped up and down telling me “I won, I won, I won after a long time”
I asked him to please return the play just to record what he did and he told me to please publish his victory, so here I am with you sharing this wonderful moment, I feel that just like what happened to me with the Mario Bros game , soon I will no longer be a competitor for him and he will start beating me in all the games 😃 I would very much like to live in another where I could enroll him in a chess academy so that when playing with other children he would feel even more motivated.
My mom taught him to play dominoes and Spanish cards a long time ago, although these games do not have as many rules as chess, they also require skill and cunning, I consider that all these games significantly improve the child's cognitive functions and I I feel proud that he finally defeated me today.
