Good topic sir Ray. I got curious on the game by watching borders in my Aunt in Sampaloc Manila. I know how to play checkers already that time and could not figure out what the heck they are doing. I ask my dad what is chess and to teach me. Next time I go there in the boarding house I ask them to play with me. Ofcourse I get beaten all the time hehehehe.
Who taught You How To Play Chess
Sort:
I was 12 years old and in 2nd year High School at PCC. It seemed everyone was playing chess because of Bobby. I watched the others play and i thought that it was too complicated for me. My best pal in school who happened to be one of the best players there offered to teach me the game but I refused because it looked like I'd never learn it. One day, we went to his house to play basketball but it rained. We had nothing to do so he offered to teach me again. We were bored and nothing to do, so I said okay. I learned it in a few minutes! 
I don't remember who taught me to play chess. I was too young...
Perhaps it was my father, but i don't have a recollection...
Come to think of it...I never thought about it before...
Yung mga hapon na umukupa sa atin ang nagturo yata sa iyo kaya di mo maalala! 
May we know who taught you how to play chess. Thank you for your respond.
I learned how to play chess by watching my friends playing chess when I was still young in the late 1950s, but I stoped playing the game because I was appearing in the movies and was dancing the ballroom dancing. I just started playing chess again in the 1990s but not concentrating it because I'm just playing the game for fun, to make more new friends, to refresh/exercise my brain. I don't even read chess books and moves.
