How to learn how to play chess
It made me
smarter :) 
"It was like..uggghhhh...finally, i got around to it."
How I did it: My little brother is really good at chess and he and my mom were playing in the backyard. I've always thought about learning and never have. He asked if I wanted to play him in a game and I said I didn't know how. He looked stunned and he goes, "well, I'll teach you if you want." It was the perfect opportunity. Whenever chess is brought up I'm tired of saying I don't know how and having people look at me like I'm crazy lol. I learned the rules, did a couple games (one with advice)..annnnnd off I went.
Lessons & tips: Like my dad says, chess takes twenty minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.
Resources: my lil bro (a willing teacher), and some spare time
