My Dad taught me to play when I was 10 or 11. I won a couple of trophies in high school, had a USCF rating of ~1650 (for those who know what that means). These days I play blitz chess now and then, but not any regular games, computers have pretty much ruined that.

Bigger chess fan than I am basketball fan. Been playing since middle school.
