I've had the nice experience of teaching my younger brother chess and as he made those bad blunders I started to remember when I played the same and made me happy. We like to review his games together and have a laugh at the shit moves and crack jokes like "killing a fly with a bazooka".

So I would like to know what you guys enjoyed re-living and teaching.

This one is going to sound goofy compared to most other responses here, but playing Overwatch. I've been playing solo for most of the game's existence, with my friends occasionally popping in for a few games but it was never more than unranked casual fun.

Lately, though, I've managed to pull together a somewhat consistent group of friend to play ranked and recently we've started doing replay reviews as a way to improve our decision making.

While I'm also learning a lot from this myself, I obviously have a lot more experience playing the game than my friends and it's been really fun teaching them things I've learned over the years.
