I started a little more than a year ago, since I was bored and wanted to try something new. You guys?

I was inspired to learn when I watched the scene form Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone when they play chess on the giant chessboard. I thought it looked cool so I decided to learn. That was about 6 years ago

Same for me, except about three years ago.

Yeah I did that in 2022 when my dad asked me to create a private one so none of my otb opponents knew how I played... But we didn't know we had to get it verified so I only verified it this year when I found out😅🥲
