Very odd experience, the week before last:

Almost every time I play Wealth of Nations with my older son, I lose. He simply outmaneuvers me at every turn of the game. The strategy complexity level for WoN is rather high.

The Shabbos before last, I played Pente with him. Pente is a very simple abstract game with not a great deal of strategy. The game can be very easily explained in three minutes.

Not only did I beat him at Pente, but I beat him 20 times in a row. He failed to win a single game.

Odd how he can dominate at games with complex strategies but so utterly fail at simple ones.
