If ever there is anything good that happened to me in my recent relationship is that I rediscovered my love for chess... How that happened?
My ex had this younger bro named ConCon (as for Conrado) who happens to be an aspiring chess player. He's only a freshman in high school. I kinda like the kid and I supposed its plus points to win her sister's heart if I teach him how to play good chess.
I was a chess player in high school for GJC and was a player for the College of Engineering and College of Arts and Sciences in my collegiate years. I had this reputation of being a giant killer, beating every top board player in each college but seems to falter on same level or even lower level players.
So it started as Concon goes to the public library to play chess with me on lunch breaks. From there I found out that I am still somewhat a capable player and has lots of ideas of basic chess strategies and theories to share. Then other young players came to play with me and in a few days time, I am again addicted to chess.
Oh well, her sister is now an EX. But still I play chess with Concon and his schoolmates. I also found out that the internet is a vast resource of chess games including chess notations... which makes me remember my old days of chess where I had to borrow chess books from friends.
At least, I found something good about the last relationship and rediscovered an old love. Wanna play some chess with me?!
