Chess
In Taiwan, at least in my generation, most of us know how to play Gomoku (five in a row) and Go, while fewer know how to play Chinese chess (Xiangqi). Poker and Mahjong are also popular. As for me, I know the rules of most of these games but rarely play. Part of the reason is that I am an only child, so nobody taught me how to play them until I went to school.
I thought about learning chess when I was a teenager, probably because of some TV show that made me think playing chess would make me look smarter. I remember buying a book. Chess is not very common in Taiwan, so chess books are quite rare in our local bookstore. They had to order the book for me. However, in the end, I still couldn’t memorize the rules, let alone actually play chess.

I would probably say "I remember I even bought a book." But what you wrote is fine.

I would either say "our local bookstoreS", or "MY local bookstore", but this is me being very fussy.

Did your parents ever play games with you? My parents taught my sister and me quite a few games, but chess wasn’t one of them as neither of them played it themselves.

I didn’t learn to play chess until I was an adult. I’m not very good at it, but I still enjoy it. :-)

Add the comma and "I" for a bit better flow
I remember buying a book. I remember buying a book.
Maybe combine these next few sentences: "I decided to buy a book, but chess is not very common in Taiwan, and chess books are quite rare in our local bookstore, so they had to order one for me."

The sentences themselves were perfect, but the story "flows" better if you can avoid breaking up connected ideas into several sentences, especially short ones - that's usually only done in books for dramatic effect.
