Learned rules at 6, started play seriously at 12, am 14 now
What Age Did You Start Playing Chess?
I started at 6 and began to play competitively at 8, and started playing online when the pandemic started
I learn at 5 for fun and concentrating and then my school randomly forced me to do it at 6
because my school was going to lose their strong players who were in year four already. I was only in prep. I ended up taking board one of junior school in year 3. now I am year 5 and I am top by about 300 points compared to anyone else in junior school and I am fifth highest in the school. I have an otb 1850 who is best in school and in our state, we have 13 year old fm
I learned the rules of the game when I was 7, but studied seriously around 1 year ago at 12 years old.
