We on every saturday use to go to see carboot at sheperton area ans just two months before I saw one chessboard plastic set and purchased it just for 50p. I found a book of chess and I came to the value of chess pieces frist time and I went on reading that book and came to know what is Rank,File,En passant,Fork,Pin,Skewer and so many things which I tell you really I was not knowing all this things even how to read chess game puzzles.The name of this book is The " Usborne Guide to Playing chess" Really I thank God for this book and I came to know that a small pawn is also very important,not to loose him easyly.Later with in a months time my son-in-law showed me chess.com and registered my name.I was not knowing what is Rated,Unrated games.I use to play chess with my friends till the end even if I am having very less pieces or even only king and a pawn and many a times I have won my opponents and I tell you what a joy I use to get after winning the game.Here when I started playing chess on line I played with a young child and one move after one day or two and I was board and I resigned usually never resign I play till end as I said.Some people resign after two or three moves but I don't.I lost that game and letter on I came to know I got 0 though I was playing good.After that I was playing with another player and I had to go to see my friend with my family. We stayed there for two days and after comming back I received the message on my email that I lost the game because time is over. Oh my God I learned a lession and started reading about this. Even I was not knowing what is blog,and slowly slowly so many things I came to know,Now I am really enjoying too much and telling all my friends in India by email to join chess.com.I thank God for this USBORNE GUIDE BOOK. I got treasure in50 p. I will never forget this God gift.
