hey! its sal’s blog!

“CHECK MATE!!! Ahaha. kakak kalah!!!" For a few seconds, i was stunned. what?? er…am i dreaming?eh, bajetla…takkan la kalah chess ngan dak darjah 5. wake up sal!!! learn to accept fate. you lost….in the hand of ur lil sis!!oh no!!

LESSON 1 :DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE UR LIL SIS/BRO.

ahaha. well, the truth is im not underestimating my lil sis with her talent to play chess, but 1 thing that i was overlook is i didnt realize that my lil sis had grown up. And in this case, of course she will know how to play chess n its tricks. When i was asked to play chess with her, in my mind, "main chess? la…tak mencabr langsung main ngan dak darjah 5. tp takpela. sian plak nurul takde org nak main. ala..main bodo2 sudah. at least dia rasa happy."

LESSON 2: DO NOT TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED

so, to make it short, i lost the game with lots of stupid movement. just a few minutes after the game started, i lost my knight in the battle. n later my bishop, but thank god i still manage to protect my queen.(ok la..although check mate pon, at least queen ada kan… ahaha. )

LESSON 3: NEVER GIVE UP EASILY!

After the embarassing match of mine, for the sake of my dignity, i challenged her for another match. and yay!! i won the game by leaving her with only 2 pawn 1 rook and a king. "Ahaha. kakak menang! berani nak lawan lagi?" "Huhu, takpe2. br 1-1. jom lawan balik." After the 3rd, 4th and 5th match the entire day, the results is i won 4 out of 5. ahaha…i know some of u out there wud think of this "Ala..lawan ngan dak kecik bleh la menang byk mcm tuh". no. my point is, i want to tell you guys how my lil sis had inspired me. After continuous lost, she still didnt give up and try harder to improve her strategy. And of course struggle to play without her queen since her queen usually lost in the battle in the beginning of our match. hehe. (sal with the role of cruel sis. =p)

So, the following days we challenged each other in chess and to some point I realized that im addicted to chess. Ahaha. Im sure Wani Chess n Zarul will be excited to read my statement here. Well, it seems like everyday, when I was bored, im no longer on the laptop to play warcraft/dota but Im more intended to play chess with my lil sis. And in each games, I will discover one by one the beauty of chess. The movement of each pieces, the unique of chess board with its black n white squares. Im attracted to it. I was captivated to find out that every single movement of our pieces is a totally critical. One faulty step, ur kingdom will fall. And now, im deeply in love with chess. Cewah!!

However, there is one day where for the whole day, I lost to my sis in every match. And definitely it was frustrating. So, with big hope to defeat her the next day, I made a plan to ask some of my fren to teach me more about chess. And thousands of thanks to Zulkifli…=) coz he had taught me amazing tricks in chess and that’s only makes my love towards chess growing bigger and bigger from day to day. Well, actually…..its not really a trick, but it was like some kind of magic for me when I found out there are movements such as ‘castling’ and ‘en passan’. He also taught me what is ‘fork’ and which situation is called ‘pin’. These things are awesome n brilliant!! See? How can I resist not to falling in love with chess!

To be continued……
