Moi aussi! Je 11 ans! How old are you Mary-AnneLiz?

Super! moi j'ai 21.

I started when i was 7 then i quit but now i am back

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 wasn’t old, i was young.

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

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.

9.

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

I was 6...

...and am 12

3 years old coz of my dad... now I created this account coz I love playing online game, Im. very decent in chess 😂

I could've been a prodigy! I started at 4 and wasted 7 years of my chess career!

learned the piece' moves at 8.

i startd playig from 5 years .i went to classes for 5 to 6 months

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! 

Started a month ago.. i am 22
