I learned to play chess as a child.

Thanks to the husband.

I play on yahoo chess and itsyourturn.com (username:bloodriver). feel free to start a game!

I learned the mechanics, but the strategy... Ahhh, that's the secret!

My Great Aunt Iris taught me how to play chess when I was 8 or 9. I took to it naturally and love to play. Phillip is a great chess partner but he always wins.

Learnt Chess because everyone was doing it.

Love the game, wish I had more opportunities to play it.

I still suck at it. But I'm getting better (she said optimistically) :)

Taught myself as a kid, at about 4-5, using a computer program that basically just denied me any illegal moves, and played competitively and for fun at the time. Won a few medals, got silver in the provincials when 6, then stopped playing when my father was pressuring me a little too much; I was kid and it was just for fun, and I stopped when it wasn't anymore. :) Even started a chess club in elementary school at about 8 and taught all the other students to play. I still remember how upset and childish I was when one of the students beat me in a game. But I suppose I was a kid, so I'll forgive myself. haha

I've now started playing again, once in a while for fun, but I haven't improved that much since childhood so I'm not all that good haha.

This was someone elses item so I though I would add it too... My Dad was tought me to play chess when I was 7 years old, and I got to beat him once of twice :)

I have learnt to play Chess but i'm not brilliant at it. I've yet to win a game but I'm satisfied with my progress.

I was taught at a young age, now its something I would like to pick up again, having not played for years and improve my skills.

 I'm glad I did

Turns out, i'm really bad at chess

thank you wil!

I'm not sure when I learned but as I was growing up my dad gradually taught me and my brothers.

My dad taught me when I was a kid.

My boyfriend taught me how to play chess as it's one of his favorite games.  I knew the basics for it when I was younger, but we never really played a full game.  Now I can play all the way to the end even though I haven't beat him yet. 

I learned to paly chess when I was young. It's great when you can play with someone who appreciates it like you do.

Never knew how until my hot husband taught me how to play [and beat him at] chess! I love logic activities :)

I want to play chess, and teach it to Jericho.

We started this goal March 2015.

I can play a good game of chess now, June 2015. Something I will continue to improve on. I'm happy I completed this goal!
