Here is my chess experience.

I started playing chess when I was only 4 years old. At first I thought of chess as a boring extracurricular activity that just wasted my time but later I became obsessed with it. I played day and night and learned about all the different combinations and their openings. The chess club that I used to go to was called AgAt. The English meaning is White Knight. AgAt was my first ever chess club that I attended and it helped me so much. My teachers name was Ms.Ulkar who is a chess grandmaster and in my opinion the most hard working and best teacher in the whole Azerbaijan. When I grew older I learned that chess openings are usually called by the name of the grandmaster that played them and I hoped that when I grew up I would have a chess opening myself.

Unfortunately during the pandemic I completely stopped playing chess due to the risks it could have caused me. After the pandemic I made a professional debut and partook in many tournaments and won many awards getting to meet many grandmasters including Kasparov, Magnus, and many more. I’ve even played against some government officials in a friendly match.
