When I know about chess , I was 7 or 8 yrs old... My cousin brother @pathumnadeeshan is the first coach in my chess life... He had a small chess board with beautiful pieces... He still has it.. 😍 Oneday he tought me how to play chess...

Then few years later, when I was grade 6 in the school ( when I was 11 yrs old) a chess club was started in our school and I got membership of their... Then I practised chess under the guidance of my coach Jinadasa Walpola who was a tallented chess player... Every monday , after school , chess practices were done...

In those days I had a magnetic chess board but after a while I got a big chess board.. Then i gave my magnetic chess board to a friend... I love my chess board too much...

I once gave my chess board to a friend for a tournament.. but when she returned my board my king had a little damage..😭😭 Even though It was a little damage, I felt so sad that day .. I cried so much .. Because I protected my chess board as my eyes...

I can remember my first chess tournament... There was 6 matches... My result 👉 1/6 🤪😎 But I didn't worry.. Our coach was with us always.. he showed our weak points and fixed them 🤗

Day by day I grew up in the chess... I participated only for the school level tournaments.. I achieved a lot wins.

But with my a/ls I had no time to give for chess... So it was missed.... But I got a lot out of it... Special thing is I was not clever to the studies in the school .. But my mind was improved because of chess... I got good marks to the exam papers...

And the other thing is I learned to make good decisions at the right time... I got a lot of things like this because of chess .....
Now I don't go the tournaments.. Even today, if I have a free time , I play chess with the phone....

So guys, Time has come to go to the sleep... I hope you enjoyed my post... Bye for now...
Thank you @cryptokannon for your guidance..
