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.

 My grandmother taught me when I was about 6 years old and she used to play with me, she was not a very strong player but she never let me win till I did it when I was about 8 years old or 9; that was a great success in my career and I run inside the house celebrating and shouting "Le gané a abuela, le gané a abuela!"(I beat grandma, I beat grandma!"), I never forget that.
