Do you still remember your first game of chess?

I wonder if grey haired old patzers would still remember theirs. For most of us it must have been a loss.

I remember mine, and I must have been playing black I think, 1.a3 a6 2.b3 b6 3.c3 c6 4.d3 d6 5.e3 e6 6.f3 f6 7.g3 g6 8.h3 h6 :-) and I don't know what happerned next - but I think I most probably lost [or I never finished the match because of me, not knowing how all of the pieces acuratelly move, and I think my opponent atleast knew how to mate, hehe].

What about you fellas, do you still remember yours?

no, I don't. But I remember the first time an opponent got mad at me for winning but not doing it fast enough. It was an endgame. Clearly won for me, but he kept playing. At no time did he have a chance and finally I queened a pawn and he gave up with the words that he felt embarrassed on my behalf for playing the endgame so poorly. I replied with the question if it was so horrible then why would he choose to play on?

ah good times :)

I remember my first TOURNAMENT game. I was like 5, and I got scholars mated as black. Embarasing. Although I ended up getting 1st..for my grade!

Looks like only Paul Morphy got to win his first game against quiet a worthy opponent.
