I brought a book home from school when I was in grade three, and my Dad and I learned how to play chess from it using an old set that my uncle had when he was a kid. We didn't really understand checkmate and so played until someone captured a king for the longest time!
I played the Italian game for years, learning it by about grade 5 without knowing it was an opening called "the Italian game", while my Dad played a modified Sicilian which we didn't know was something like an opening called "Sicilian" which he still uses habitually (as black OR white) today. It wasn't that we really learned them, or even knew there were set "openings" for years (my Dad probably still doesn't), that's just how our play, from playing each other and some people at school or work on occasion, naturally seemed to evolve.
I've picked the game up and put it down again over the last couple decades, and recently have once again learned to appreciate it and enjoy it again.

At 35 years old, I walked in a chess club for the first time. I was sure I could beat everybody. During my childhood I could beat cousins, father, brothers. Few years later at work on lunch time, I have plaid many workmates and I was the King...... At the club....I lost my 25 first games
