In my school days, my grandfather bought me a chessboard and taught me how to play chess. It is a difficult game because it has many pieces. The moves are also very different from one another. The player should protect the king or queen. The king and queen have the highest power in the chess game, so we can defeat our opponent. In the beginning, I struggled a lot to play chess. After playing with my friends and family, I learned how to make moves with the pieces. It's like a battlefield; it shows us how soldiers react when war occurs. I have to be careful to protect the king, and it must be in a safe position. I have to move stronger pieces like rooks and knights. Now I have learned a little bit about chess, and I am a casual player. Maybe in the future, I will learn more about chess strategies, and I want to teach my children as well. It is the best brain game, so I can become a master at it.
