The definition of a hobby according to me is an activity one enjoys in his free time.
Activities like Playing or watching football matches, playing video games, hiking, watching movies, etc are all considered hobbies.
There is a hobby i have always wanted to engage in but due to one or two things i have never got the chance to engage in this hobby, and that hobby is playing chess.
It originated from southern europe and what most people don't know is that it also originated from old indian roots.
Chess is a board game played between two players and this game requires critical thinking about and abstract strategy to overcome your opponent.
Each player controls sixteen pieces which includes one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns.
The main objective or goal of this game is to checkmate the opponent's king and that ends the game, or the game could end in a draw.
I love this game because of the way it keeps the brain thinking of new strategies and ways to defeat one's opponent.
It keeps the brain calculative and sharp and as a student i believe this game will help me grow mentally.
Unfortunately i have not learnt how to play this game because of the limited time i have, life as a college student takes all the time you have to engage in this kind of activity but i know that one day i will learn the basics and rules of this beautiful game.
