Since college in fact. Learnt as a kid like we all do, played for a while, lost interest, played again for a while as a teen, then again for a while in college but after that I never really played except for a random game here or there – not many people played and we didn’t even know about chess clubs (not that there are many of them). But they’re starting a chess club up in work so I thought why not and I’d already signed up to both FICS and Chess.com last year, so I just started playing a bit more.
