i started reading another of Awful Spot Tard's books - don't remember which one - and in the first few pages, the protagonist's older brother was beating the shit out of him.

was OSC abused by his older brother?

What? No of course it wasn't "necessary". But he needed a way to show that Ender was actually a better tactician than the others to establish that his being put in command of the space forces was warranted. Also, if you look at the book, he gets all the detailed tactical descriptions out of the way with the gravity game so he can just describe the emotions of Ender and his fellow child soldiers in the part where they are actually fighting the buggers. It's like he wanted to make the reader see that the tactics stopped being important to Ender once he had mastered the underlying concepts in space school. Or something like that, idk. But I think the gravity game served an important role in establishing Ender as uniquely capable of commanding the offensive against the buggers, if nothing else. Card had to show the reader that Ender was really special; otherwise many readers would probably have thought the adults were just telling Ender he was special to manipulate him.
