I’m a 16-year-old boy. I love playing chess (国际象棋). My parents didn’t ask me to start. It was my idea. It was during the summer holidays when I was 12 and I had nothing to keep me busy. I was really bored, so I bought a chess set, and soon I fell in love with it.

It took me a long time to learn the rules. There were some instructions on the box, but I had to read books and watch some videos (视频) on the Internet, too. Going to a chess club was an easy way to get help, but I enjoyed learning by myself.

Soon after, I played my first game with one of my friends. I wanted to do well, but I lost! I didn’t feel bad or get angry with my friend. Instead, I got to know how difficult the game is and I decided to work hard to become a great chess player!

Now, four years later, that is still my dream. I’m in the school chess club and I practice three times a week. Also, I’m always reading books on chess at home, and playing against my computer!

Next week, there will be a big game and many young chess players will join in it. It’ll be my first big game and I’m really looking forward to showing everyone what I can do.
