My hobby is playing chess — one of the greatest games in the world. My mum taught me how to play when I was seven years old. But then, on my eighth birthday, I won for the first time. I nearly always beat her now.
To learn the rules doesn't take long. One day is enough. But if you want to be good, you have to practice for years. — just a chess set and someone to play with. Chess sets can be very cheap, or quite expensive. Some people collect chess sets as a hobby, but I enjoy playing.
We meet on Wednesday every week to practice. I am the best player in the club, and the captain（队长）of the school chess team. This year we won the All England Schools Championship (冠军赛).
I'm saving up my money to buy a chess computer. They are very expensive, but also very good for practice. I'm sure I will be a world chess champion some day.
