Who taught you how to play chess
hello po sa lahat!
first time ko pong naencounter ang chess nung 5 years old ako. natatandaan ko pa yung medium size na chess board na un na pasalubong dati sakin ng lola ko noon. haha. ang alam ko lang ata noong eh kung pano iset up yung pieces at yung mga individual moves nila (binasa ko sa likod ng box, yeah, i'm pretty smart for a 5 year old child)... di ko masyado napagtuunan ng pansin yun kasi ang gusto ko noon ay kung pellet gun. at tsaka wala kasi akong kalaro noon na kaedad ko. dalawa lang kami ni lola sa bahay eh.
then pagdating ko ng elementary, nung grade 3, dun ako nagsimulang maglaro talaga ng chess. may chess club sa school at doon natuto ako ng iba't ibang bagay. basic openings, tactics at endgame puzzles. ni minsan hindi ako sumali sa school competitions. natatakot ata ako noon eh. bata pa nga... haha.
pero nawala yung hilig ko sa chess nung 2nd year highschool na ako. medyo seryoso muna sa studies eh. at tsaka walang kasing chess club! hindi na din ganon kasikat yung chess sa may lugar namen eh.
at yun na ang kwento ng buhay chess ko. ngayong college gusto kong bumalik sa chess kaya nandito ako ngayon sa chess.com... sana maipagpatuloy ko pa ito. yeah!
how i learn to play chess? well i used to wash our dishes every after meal, i got so tired of it that i complain to my dad, my dad say's that if i can beat him in chess, he will do the dishes, my dad is also a school chess champion, so i try vey hard to learn the game, we play & i continue to do the dishes, we play & play & play until im stong enough to give him a hard time, and finally he can beat me no more. So now its him doing the dishes every single night.
Well my cousin thought me how to play this game, first he taught me the moves of each pieces (except castling). It all started when I was 7 years old, I'm a fanatic of the game Checkers (A.K.A. dama) that time and I'm kinda confuse because playing dama here in our place the King, Queen and two Bishops are not used and now all of a sudden a big question mark hits me and asked my older cousin. "Why those pieces are not used", is it only intended to use when you promote a pawn in Checkers and as I'm asking him, he told me that "those pieces are only used in the game of Chess" and that started my journey to play this wonderful game.

I learned to play chess by watching my friends play the game in the 1960s. Naitigil ko lang ang paglalaro ng chess dahil I was studying and was in the movies, I was dancing the ballroom dance and playing basketball. Naituloy ko lang ang paglalaro ng chess more or less 10 years ago and I'm still learning the strategy of chess dahil napakababa nang rating ko.
Thank you. How about you? I also posted this topic at the general forum.
