Older beginner, trying again

I tried learning chess when I was a kid, but I had an older brother who always won. I didn't understand the game then, and the experience turned me off learning it for many years.

Now I'm trying to get into chess, mostly because I want to get that bad taste out of my mouth, so to speak. I ought to have liked the game more. It should have suited me. Maybe it will, now.

Anybody else have a bad experience with chess as a youngster?

I remember when I was a kid, I remember losing to my brother and my babysitter.  Also, when I was in about 5th grade, I remember losing my queen for a bishop.  At this time,  I didn't take chess seriously until I was 16 years young.
