I learned to play chess by watching my friends play the game in the 1960s. Naitigil ko lang ang paglalaro ng chess dahil I was studying and was in the movies, I was dancing the ballroom dance and playing basketball. Naituloy ko lang ang paglalaro ng chess more or less 10 years ago and I'm still learning the strategy of chess dahil napakababa nang rating ko.

Thank you. How about you? I also posted this topic at the general forum.
