hello...... I am 12 and I play chess it all started when I was 6 I asked my dad what is chess? he said it was a "strategy" game he showed me all the peices and everything and so seven years later i got a laptop and I'm playing on yahoo and here on chess.com and it's very interesting to play people from all across the world(overseas) but when u play me I might do a little openings starting out either from my pawn or knight I'm trying to take lessons yet I am getting really good as said by a other player anyways that's it
