Today, my son displayed an interest in chess, and asked me to teach him to play. Five minutes in, I captured his queen. He screamed "SCREW THIS STUPID GAME", slammed his fist down on his pieces, and started crying because of the pain. He's fourteen years old. FML

That would be smart if OP wanted a smashed computer screen and an even whinier son and possibly a trip the emergency room.

Sure. Because slamming a fist into a computer is much less damaging. (Oops, a minute too late. Sorry.)

The good part of it on the computer is that it shows you where you can move and how many steps you take.

But the OP's son sounds like the type of person who would exit out of the game just when the opposing player is about to win. (Technically) no losses = no injured fists and computer screens.

And you can set the level of play low enough that you can beat it. Once you get better, you can increase the level of play.

Obviously! When I get my queen captured, I can cry all I want and no one can tell.

#91, I secretly bring in the Scottie Dog from Monopoly and call it The Duke. The Duke can move once during your move or three times during the opponent's move, and it can pee on any opposing piece.

91 - It can tell you what the best move is, or you can undo a move.

No #1, then someone would capture his queen on there and he'd punch the screen

2 - That reminds me of that Geico commercial where the loud announcer is narrating the chess game (I can't remember his name)... he can make anything more intense.

Understandable. Chess is a frustrating game. I would probably have grey hair if I played constantly.

Technically speaking, men do not menstruate..... But we do go through a couple of days out of the month when our hormones are all out of whack.... It isn't pms, but it is along the same lines.

you can't blame it all on the parents because kids have small fits of rage. hormones happen, also disorders and many even mental illness. consider taking some blame in life.

He should get some help for his anger issues! He shouldn't lose it over a game of chess.

He's probably very competitive and a sore loser.. I happen to be like that and they aren't always the best combination.. I have just learned to win but however when I do lose I usually just walk away angry lol never really slamming my fist he's just a really sore loser lol
