The Funahashi Times No.40　チェスの楽しみ

Hello there!

My older brother taught me chess when I was young. I stopped playing for many years because I always lost to him. I didn’t enjoy it. Last vacation I started playing again because I got bored. I usually play with strangers on the internet, but I sometimes play with my brothers and cousins too. I still lose a lot of games, but I think I’m getting better. I enjoy it now. I get to spend with my brothers and cousins too because of chess. Now, I realize that chess and other board games are not only about winning. It’s also about being patient and making yourself better. It’s about spending time with your family and friends too.
