Playing the chess

My favorite game is chess. I play chess in my free time because it is my hobby and passion. There are a number of hobbies to choose from but I find chess the best and most fascinating. For me, there cannot be a better pursuit than playing chess in my spare time. It not only keeps me busy but also gives entertainment, provides a welcome change and creative satisfaction.

My first teacher was my father. I remember how I watched with interest how he played on Sundays and other holidays in the afternoon with his friend. It was really fascinating to see them get so absorbed in it that it made them forget everything around them. Their playing sessions would sometimes extend into late nights. Sometimes, when there was a power-failure or load-shedding, they would continue their game in candlelight. I learned the finer points and strategies of the game by observing them play.

But sometimes when you cannot find a rival for a chess tournament in your free time a modern technological progress helps us. 2 years ago I found chess.com and start to play online. Chess.com helped me to increase the rate of chess playing which is both enjoyable and useful .Chess.com also helped me to play with and get to know Chess players from all around the world and also play chess with old friends whom I was not able to play with them anymore because they traveled abroad. Also, this site has many video lessons and tutorials which can help you to improve your skills.
