I started by just sitting by the chessboard exploring things. I didn't even have books at first, and I just played by myself. I learnt a lot from that, and I feel that it is a big reason why I now have a good intuitive understanding of chess.
When it comes to helping out, I don't believe in doing it for the media attention. My goal is to support the organizations that need help.
