โ€œI first learned to play from the internet one day after browsing through every board game I could find when I was younger. It took me 2 weeks to actually learn due to other distractions like cartoons music and yu-gi-oh [...] One day when I was bored I played the program on its normal level I lost so I bought it levels down a notch and lost again then I played it on its lowest level and lost again !!! and again and again and I got sooo frustrated with the entire game but unlike other beginners I didnt quite becasue of it I actually wanted to jsut win one game until after 2months of harsh losing I finally won againt the easy and I felt relieved then I played the normal level and beat it after my second try and was overjoyed I actually never really felt that happy in anything else before then and that ignited my passion for the game for the continuing years.โ€

โ€œI wasnโ€™t born with 1500-level vision. I started like many others โ€” in chaos. At 600, chess felt like a puzzle I couldnโ€™t quite solve. Iโ€™d move a knight here, a pawn there, and boom โ€” blunder! Sometimes I didnโ€™t even see the checkmate coming. But I didnโ€™t give up. I climbed. Step by step, move by move.โ€
