True confessions time, I understood the rules of chess at an early age, but found it frustrating trying to think more than one or two moves ahead, my brain would fog up in a most unfamiliar and disconcerting way.
Fast forward to now, and it's painfully obvious that it was an early indication of my attention deficit disorder, not diagnosed until decades later. Man, if I could have been treated for the then-unknown problem, who knows where I'd be today?
Didn't stop me from collecting chess sets and chess computers though! I hear now is a great time to unload them. I wonder which storage they're in?
