My personal project was to improve my chess skills through learning different concepts of the game and practice. Then, document all my learnings in the form of a guidebook so that others who are keen could learn. In this project, out of all the IB ATL skills, I have used a lot of research skills by researching about different chess concepts so I could learn them. I researched on websites, read books, watched videos and lessons, etc. to gain a better understanding of concepts. In addition to research skills, I have also developed self-management skills such as time management because I had to make a solid plan that would help me learn efficiently. Although I am nowhere near a strong chess player, I have improved from myself before this journey. In conclusion, the personal project helped me improve my chess skills, help others improve theirs and helped me develop crucial life-skills such as research and self-management.
