I started playing chess when I was about 8 years old I think.  My Grandfather taught me how to play and I've loved the game ever since.

I'm a kid and I'm not great, I started at about 7 or 8, took a break, then I was 12, started playing again, and improved. A little.

But I didnt read anything about chess til 15. U know, just moved the pieces around without real strategy for 6 years.

I was about 8 or 9 I think? But fun fact, I never ever actually won a game until about a month ago when my family started to realise it was actually a pretty fun pastime!

I started playing chess since I was 8 years old. I taught myself for 9 years to reach master level. Quite slow
