I am looking forward to hearing your responses on this! As for me, my older brother taught me chess when I was about 9 years old. I enjoyed playing it with him but as the years went on, we got out of the habit. Many years later, in 2006 when I began my career as a teacher, one of my colleagues had an afterschool "Homework and Chess Club." I wandered in one afternoon, and watched the students play, and all my memories came flooding back to me. I felt very "drawn" to the game and became very involved with it. Soon, it became the theme of my own classroom community. In 2016, I started writing chess fiction for kids! What about you? How did YOU become interested in chess? ❤️♟️
