tell me how did you learned chess?

Same :)

I dont remember exactly how l learned to play chess but it was probably from a book. I used to do a lot of reading as a kid. Now I prefer to listen to audio books as opposed to reading.

@JASKIRATSINGH My dad taught me when I was 5, and I went to a chess camp when I was 7, but I quit because I hated losing. I was on a flight to India for a family vacation... it was 12 hours long, and I was playing games on the back of the seat in from of me on one of those television screens... chess was the only working one... I wanted to get better at it and I was really fascinated. I went and saw my cousins in India, lost to them really bad... now I can beat them down a queen 😁

I just learned by myself. I have an unique love towards this game.

My dad showed me rules when I was 4 years old.

At that age, I knew to read, count, multiply numbers, find square and root of small numbers... So I think that learning chess rules was not so hard for me

Or just my parents were so ambitious :)

I taught myself.

Mom taught me when i was 3 or 4 i think but never played continuously until a few months ago.

Oh there were some nice memories there, she knew the scholars mate but never used it agaisnt me, it was until the boyfriend of an older cousin appeared that he started to beat me and another cousin's ass on chess with the scholars mate and many other tricks that i can actually say that i learned chess.

should learn to use a keyboard first bro

My stepfather bought an American Revolutionary War set when I was probably about 8 or 9. He taught me the basics, but we never really played much. About two years ago, my cousin was getting married, and he invited me down to his bachelor's party at the beach. He had become taken with the chess bug, and well, all he wanted to do was play chess. at the beach. I started to play because I wanted to have something that I could do with him, and we still play on another website. I started to learn more about chess simply from having the desire to beat him, and then I got hooked.

I originally learned how to play from an old computer game called Lego Chess. It had a tutorial that explained all of the rules and it did so in a way that was very fun and engaging. I then played several games against the computer and had a great time just trying to improve (it had a difficulty setting that could be adjusted depending on how much of a challenge you want).

I then made my own chessboard using waffle blocks and my own chess pieces using Duplo blocks (they're like Lego bricks but bigger) and challenged my mother to a game. I won that game and my mother was impressed. I then challenged my father and lost (he had played chess way back in high school and had a playing strength of about 1400 CFC which I think is at least 1300 FIDE). My parents then had me play in a scholastic tournament run by the Chess 'n Math Association (a Canadian Not-For-Profit that organizes most, if not all, of the kid tournaments) and I was given a rating of about 400 CMA which is about 800 CFC. I was about 8 years old when i played my first tournament but as I got older I became too strong for CMA events and started playing in tournaments for adults, eventually getting a rating of about 1900 CFC as a teenager. Then I stopped playing because I wanted to focus on my university studies and my career. My finances are fairly stable now and I got pretty bored so I came back to chess. I don't know how high my OTB rating would be now, but I do feel a lot stronger than I was as a teen as my tactics are still sharp and I have a better grasp of positional concepts (though there is still a lot of room for improvement!).
