As a child, I loved playing chess very much. Then I lost interest in games. Now I don't play anything at all. Interestingly, I taught my son to play chess when he was little, and he liked it so much that he still plays. Moreover, he works as a chess coach)

I don't play chess. I play Battleship, because I'm an American.
