When I was 3 years old, my mother taught me how to play chess. I kept practicing until I got better. She enrolled me in an online chess class where I learned a lot, leading me to compete and earn a FIDE rating. But then, I faced a problem.
I also needed to focus on school. Realizing that becoming a grandmaster would require attending many tournaments, I took a break from chess to concentrate on my studies. I earned medals, certificates, and trophies for my academic achievements. Eventually, I returned to chess, only to find that my skills had declined. However, I didn't give up and worked hard to regain them. By the way, I improved.
