How did you get into chess?

Write your story here!

I watch the show, “The Queens Gambit” and I the next thing you know, I’m 1200 on chess.com

I don’t know

I don't remember anything that happened while I was learning, but I think my father taught me.

Don't remmeber, I started when I was young

I met a friend of my Dad who was into chess when I was 5, he taught me the rules

I saw news about Magnus winning the World Chess Championship and wanted to try it out

I got violated by my friend and decided to start chess for revenge.

Excuse me???

Also I just thought it looked cool and made me look smart (still dumb)

honestly idk i just really like winning

I also started chess because it will give me an IQ boost…And since my IQ was originally -10, my IQ is now 0

dad

My IQ is 153

And fide is 1603

I am in pune for my state U11

I started playing chess when I was 8 and now I am 9 and in 4 months will turn into 10

My grandfather was a grandmaster and my grandfather taught my father and my father taught me when I was young but shockingly now I am better than my father and my grandfather cause my grandfather lost practice and my father taught me but I also learned from different apps making me better than my father hehe.

Saw my friends play it, now I play it

Wow
