My dad taught me when I was four or five, but thrashed me until my teens. He thought I was quite talented, but that's only because he is so bad at the game.
When I refused to join the chess club in 8th grade in favor of the debate team he gave up. But I made a lot of money challenging drunk marines to chess matches in OIF 3. Hardly the background of a prodigy but I love the game nonetheless. I think most of my success is due to the ineptitude of my opponents rather than my own skill.
The game's depth makes a mockery of modern RTS computer games, don't you think?
