As a child, I enjoyed playing chess. There was something alluring about the various pieces, how them moved and the creative artwork that goes into them.
Although there were many aspects I liked, what I didn’t like was always losing games to my dad. (Since you don’t know my dad, I’ll tell you this, he literally is a rocket scientist. So matching wits with him in a game of chess was…intense).
I wanted to win, at least some of the time. That drive to win inspired me to join the Chess club at school and read various books on chess. Chess is a game of skill that improves with training and practice.
I learned various strategies and moves from each person I played and instruction I received. Eventually I was able to hold my own and obtain that desired win. With enough skill and experience, I finally beat my dad at chess.
