I never let my kids win intentionally beacuse in my humble opinion they really need to learn :
1. There will be a loser and if you are it then oh well.
2. If you want to win then you need to practice practice practice.

Sometimes I think too many people give kids awards for well nothing and I want my kids to learn that in order to win you have to work at it, not obsess on it, but work at it.

I had a foster kid for almost two years. We knew him before that because he was a customer of ours at the store my wife and I owned.

To the point, it was a game store. We never let Will win, but we did play with handicaps. One of the educational games that he actually didn't mind was the old National Geographic game where you lay down map hexes. He played on the low difficulty, my wife played on the medium difficulty, and I played on the highest difficulty. Scores came in fairly evenly.

In other games, it was a level playing field.

The Grand son I let win occasionally at Chess and he does get such a thrill out of it. If I was a nicer person I would let him win more often.

Have a nice day.

I do not have kids and I also do not play with kids since I do not personally know any. If I did I will not let them win. I don't see how it can be good for children to let them win when they do not deserve to win.

I never played them in a competitive mode, I instead played with them in a teaching mode so that I was always teaching them how to make their next step and use strategy and if they didn't make the right move I would win the move and then teach them how I won that move. So I was always trying to teach them how to win! :)
