don't be too impressed yet, i am not a chess genius.
i know the pieces, their places, their names and moves.
but just the basics.
making winning strategies is another thing - give me checkers, i may have a chance.
i remember in 5th grade when i had to match with our batch's chess wizard and i was just a starter! the team rep was desperate and saw me as someone who can differentiate a pawn from a rook and signed me up for the job. i knew i was going to lose, but at least not via default. the game only lasted for 5 minutes, but out of desperation i even attempted the "three-move checkmate" which my opponent easily caught on and blocked!
the game finished too soon with my opponent not even breaking a sweat and i was just glad it was all over.
p.s. by the way, chess pieces aren't arranged in the board that way in the picture. i didn't notice the misplaced pieces until i was putting the set back to the shelf. my usual OC self had to put every piece to where it should belong as i smiled to myself.
at least i knew where each piece should be, someone else surely doesn't. :p
