A little off subject

I know this is a little off subject, but humor me, I'm a grandfather. This is Alex. He's eight. He reads a couple of grades above grade level. He is a competitive swimmer and a chess champion. Those are chess trophies in the picture. He has an analytical mind, but I don't know if he developed it by playing video games or if analytical minds just tend to like video games. He is also a good card player and excells at soccor. And I think he photographs well.
