My Dad used to put that song on all the time! However... that's not my genre of music. Nonetheless, it's a great song. 😊

I really love how all the kids and the Gen Zs are discovering chess and making it cool all over again. And I agree, chess is life!!!
Yeah!
At first, I used to think chess was a boring and dull game. But slowly, when I had free time, I would play, and slowly regained interest in the game. Sadly, my ELO rating is still pretty low, but I do want to get better.
I gained interest in chess at about 12. (I'm still 12)

I watched my dad play for awhile and asked him if I could play. I was four at the time.

OMG! I didn't even know what chess was at the age of 9 or 10!
Got interested since I was 5. I just liked watching pieces destroy each other, I guess?

Nowadays, I still like watching pieces destroy each other. Difference is that they do it in style now.
I learnt to play chess when l was 3 years old. My father, who has played tournaments taught me as a kid!

I was 5 years old when I learned to play just by watching my father and grandfather play on the weekends. No instruction, no books or magazines, and it was years before I ever played a game, but I knew how. For me the appeal was that here was a game with NO luck. You couldn't say you didn't get good cards, or the dice didn't roll your way. Chess is just your brain against your opponents brain, with no luck involved, equal armies etc. The only difference is one side moves first, but when you rotate colors every game that evens out as well. My first actual game of chess against anyone was when I was 9, and I asked my grandfather visiting on vacation to play with me. I won. After that I was hooked for life.
Absolutely!
