There is two reason why i like playing chess. Firstly, it can improve my logic and problem solving skills. Secondly, it will bring enjoyable feeling when you can beat someone in chess. I begun my journey in chess at the chess extracurricular in elementary school when I'm still 11 years old. For me, it wasn't an easy thing to become a great player in chess. You need to have many practice to learn a pattern that can built your powerful tactics to fight your opponent. I still remember when I always lose in every game of chess at my first year in chess extracurricular. Even thought that didn't make me surrender and run away from chess. All my loses make me curious to keep practicing, hoping that I can beat someone in chess someday. All my effort has been paid back when I manage to beat someone in chess at the next year. I manage to beat one of my friends in extracurricular. It was a great experience when I could beat someone in chess for the first time.
