In middle school I started playing chess at a local club that met at a Barnes and Noble. I was 1/3 of the age of the next youngest person and I doubt I ever won a single game, but I learned so much.
My favorite person at the club, and I tried to play with him as often as I could, was this boisterous old man who would drop movie one-liners constantly. He'd take a pawn with his knight and bellow "I HAVE YOU NOW." I'd occasionally grab one of his rooks, "Great kid, but don't get cocky!"
