What an “interesting” title.🤔
How old were you when you learned how to play chess and what attracted you to ♟ chess.

As a child, my sisters and I were required to learn three skills - swimming 🏊🏼♀️(I’m from L.A.), riding a bicycle 🚲 and . . .you guessed it, playing chess. My mother who had a major passion for the game(and an impressive ♟ set collection!) taught me at the age of 10. I love the aspect of planning at least 6 moves ahead and I’ve always loved confusing opponents with my atypical moves.
you can plan 6 moves ahead as a 700?!?!

Rook_Handler, I'm going through a MAJOR slump! When I joined, I was a 1200 so no more snarky remarks from you! And kkKrafty, if that remark is for me, thanks, I'll take it!

I've been wanting to learn chess properly for a few years, but never truly learned openings, strategies and endgames. However I'm starting to play more seriously now and even bough premium to analyze my games etc.

I'm 63 and only started playing a couple of years ago. Something new to learn since I'm retired.
I'm 76 and just started a few months ago.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude

That’s okay, Rook_Handler! I knew you meant no harm. And right now, I DO suck! But my puzzles score is WAY up there so that’s something!😊
There’s a new forum floating around, titled “How did you become interested in chess?” The partial title of this forum? “What attracted you to chess?” Hey, dude, stop trying to steal my thunder!🤨😠😡
