| Most people seem to think that to win, you have to take every single one of your opponent's pieces, and that castling the king isn't a legal move. |

the chess club at my school taught a guy how to play chess in mid-september
hes good enough that if i play down anything he'd beat me
sometimes he does manage to gain an advantage against me
but he normally drops his queen right as im about to decide that i cant win and should resign |

""checkers"
please go"
but i like checkers too?
i think its because people are more willing to play checkers and because it's an easier game i play it better than i do chess and so checkers isnt just playing the same people over and over again who are about as good as me |

| a perfect solution has been found for checkers i.e. a branching unbeatable method that lets you either win or force a stalemate |

yeah it might be strongly solved as a draw
but for the first two sets of moves (you and opponent twice) you have 3136 possible branches
and it only gets more complex from there
iirc there are 10^50 possible positions
no human can memorize the required sets of moves for checkers
also how about that backgammon guys? |

I don't like backgammon very much.
It relies too much on chance. |

| I don't even know how to play Chess. Or Checkers. Or Chutes and Ladders. Or basically any board game. |
