What got you into chess? Share your story
Everyone has a chess origin story. 🙂
Maybe a grandparent taught you on a wooden set, maybe it was a school club, a film, a lockdown hobby, or a friend who kept beating you until you decided to do something about it.
- When and how did you learn?
- What was the first game you remember winning?
- What keeps you playing today?
I'll start: I fell in love with chess when I realised that every lost game was actually a lesson in disguise — that idea is the reason ChessStride exists. Your turn! 👇
