    I played when I was much younger, my brother taught me at first and later on I joined a chess club. I think I wasn't bad, not sure, but having beaten a Chinese kid must mean something
    Now I just suck though, it's been years...

    Used to play, but I suck. In terms of those games, I usually excel far more playing Reversi/Othello - used to beat IA on high levels after some pratice.

    I've tried chess a few times with people I knew and it was fun, but honestly, I was not that good at it .

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.

    Yes, I like to play chess. I am not that bad, but also not good. I always liked to play chess, but was lazy and didn't study to improve my skills. Sometimes I play for fun at Chess.com; my PR is close to the 80th percentile. So I am better than average, but still at novice level.

    Ive played Chess since I was a kid cant recall exactly how I learnt to play my Dad and Grandfather played so probably learned from them.
    I am a reasonable player now but was quite a bit better when I was younger.
