Hi everyone!

When I was in second and fourth year High School, our teachers always send me in Palarong Panlalawigan, to play chess. As a first timer, I was so nervous to move the pieces and I dont have the gut to be the 1st placer in the game.And yeah! I’m not the 1st placer but I’m the second placer, not bad for a 1st timer. Time past by, our teacher notice that I’m better to play chess as a blitz player. And no one expected, I’ve won, I checkmated my four enemies. I’m so proud of my self of that day because I checkmate them for almost 4 mins, and it was so memorable for me.

Being a chess player was so great! I don’t expect that I can show my expression or feeling through this kind of sport.
