I got bored one day and decided to learn chess ._.

My son (7) was playing it on the screen of my car when it was parked. And the game got my attention and curiosity.

Random guy told me 3years ago and now I am beating players like crazy(just joking, I am not that good).

I used to play games a lot, and also watch movies like crazy every day. Then i got sick of it out of nowhere (basically mid-life crisis) and decided to play chess "seriously". Probably one of my better decisions yet 😄

My mother told me that chess gives IQ, and I started playing chess.

My dad was a bit of a chess hustler during his time in the navy and taught it to me when I was 6 years old.

I found a random giant chess set on private property in the woods in the middle of the winter and played on it when I was four. Not joking.

Looking back, probably wasn't a good idea to actually play on the decoration. But now I spend most of my free time right here on chess.com so I can't be too mad
