Chess

I started playing chess when I was still at the age of 14. At first I had no knowledge about chess. I just watched my classmates play it. I was like "what are they doing?". Then I started studying it. I was amazed when I knew that chess was a sport. I got interested in it just because of the knight, some call it as the horse".  The first opening that I learned was the "Ruy Lopez" and the "Caro-Kann defence". Then learned many other openings. I played in tournaments and unfortunately I did not get first place. Well I agree that it's hard and needs a lot of patience and time. However, it is fun and through chess you can enhance your analysis.
