Always wanted to learn to play chess, but never got anyone to actually teach/play with me. Reading from a book is nothing like having an actual partner.
I never learned how to play chess, but for some reason both of my daughters wanted to play. They started by computer, but then their school had an after school program, which they joined. They’re actually pretty good now.

@Plumbob WilsonNeither do humans if they expect me to play a second game. Chess should be a civilized game.

I can teach someone how to play chess in about 15 minutes. There are only so many pieces and they can only move in so many ways.
Teaching one how to play chess well is an entirely different story.
