Here I will tell about a very valuable past in my life, my hobby.

When I was a child around grade 1 of elementary school, I often saw my father and uncle playing chess. At first I was dizzy and confused to see a chess game that looked complicated but over time with a strong curiosity I tried to understand chess as it seemed exciting at the time I was thinking, which attracted me with the game using small black and white boxes and pawns unique chess pieces such as those that resemble horse animals and others.

In the 4th grade of elementary school, at first I invited to play chess with my cousin brother and I lost. But I feel happy because I can apply chess games and make me more enthusiastic about playing chess. Then I played chess against my father, I won even though I knew it was just daddy's tactic so that in the future I could play chess often and deepen it.

Class 5 Elementary School was the first time I joined a chess match, at that time I was chosen to represent a school to compete at the district level O2SN (National Student Sports Olympiad) whose participants consisted of 13 schools. The match uses a knockout system. I did not expect to get a champion and represent the district to advance to the next stage, namely the level of Central Kalimantan, precisely in Palangka Raya. There I did not get a champion but I was happy to see my parents smile happily and certainly made my spirit rise to continue my hobby.

When I occupied the Junior High School, I was more engaged in chess by attending chess training at the Murung Raya Regency Chess Pondok which at that time was brought in by trainers from South Kalimantan in the name of Master Zainal Arifin. Chess training starts after school until the afternoon. Here are taught how to correct steps, opening chess, precise tactics facing the opponent's chess arrangement, how to quickly defeat your opponent, there are even exercises to measure your abilities. Since I practiced here, I often participated in chess competitions at the sub-district, district and even provincial to national levels. Many of the ups and downs that I experienced but that all made valuable experiences to date. It's a wonderful thing to be able to make your own money without asking parents, hehehe
