Today, I am
going to talk about one of my favorite hobbies. To play chess.
I started
to play chess since I was child, when my father taught me. I was five or six
years old when I learnt the basic rules of this game and I tried to learn fast
to overcome my dad, but I never could do that until I was in high school.
I am not a
great chess player but I like to play that game and to learn about different
strategies of this game. I have a great book of Capablanca (one of the best
chess player ever) with different strategies of chess. I have not never played
a tournament or things like this but sometimes I play with friends (and I
usually win because my friend are worse players than me).
One of my
personal treasures, is my chessboard. My chessboard has more than 50 or 60
years old (I really do not know how old is it), and belonged to and uncle that
gave to me. Also, I have a few of old books about chess and sometimes I used my
chessboard to practice the games referred in the books.
Today, I
play chess when I have time and usually I play online. On internet or with a
smartphone I could play when I am going on the bus or in the subway.
