How did you get into playing?
It was on holiday. There was a set at the place we were staying and the kids wanted to know how to play. I knew how the pieces moved, but not a lot else. I started to look up "chess strategies" and things, thinking I might find a few tips. Instead I found an addiction!
2 years later of daily studying and I've finally made it to "beginner" level.
