Chess Players vs. Checker Players

I don't think you've read carefully the articles that talk about the correlation of brain size and intelligence. There isn't even any concrete evidence that a "bigger" brain makes you bigger. Already speaking of a larger brain outside of humanly normal parameters, obviously it would not be healthy; it is a reality, although I said it in a humorous way (although I really meant it).

Whatever 🤐

When I meant by bigger brain, I meant who is more smarter. Lemme change it.

Everyone I changed "big brain" to "smarter", happy now?

Anyway a correct question would be that it helps you develop more intelligence from one game or another. Objectively the smartest person will always be smarter no matter if they play checkers or chess or even if they play LoL which could make you dumber.

As I mentioned before, the complexity of one game compared to the other is too big a difference. A human being can find a weak solution that determines the perfect way to play checkers, while even with the help of computers we cannot solve chess. There are certainly different ways to play checkers with changes to different rules, in all cases the complexity is kept very low.
The most complex board games are so complex that all of them without exception help to develop high levels of intelligence regardless of whether one is more complex than the other, this is what happens if you compare chess, go or shoji (or Japanese chess). ; obviously between the three of them, chess is less complex, but a professional go player doesn't have to be more intelligent than a professional chess player; any of the professional players at these table games will be much better than average if he spends some time on the other two games.

As for checkers, it really cannot be said that a professional checkers player can be very good at chess, the differences in complexity are very high, however that does not mean that the checkers player is directly less intelligent, but the checkers are not a factor in showing how easily you could learn other board games like chess or go.

wha…??? 

uh ok

Lol finally someone agrees

you're just angry a 12 year old is good at chess while youre still down here with us

you cant say one is smarter than the other, but checkers definitely has a chance bc of the recent chess boom lmao

nah bro really said spelling police accidentally shoot a bullet through their partner's skull

Wow its great thanks for sharing..   

Bro, are you OK?

No he's right. I play chess.

I was a spectator at this match. http://games.cs.ualberta.ca/matches/1994/Boston/ Ray Keene was there, I forget why (maybe his Mind-Sports org was a sponsor?). At one point it was Lafferty's turn in a middlegame, the computer operator showed us the endgame position Chinook was calculating, 50 (!) moves ahead.

EDIT: I probably misremembered that part and it was 50 ply, not 50 moves.

But the operator also said that was well within the abilities of someone like Lafferty. I guess the difference would be in the branching factor, humans can do long lines but only with few or no branches. The engine can do more branches but still has to prune heavily in order to reach high depth. One advantage for a checkers engine vs a chess engine is there are way more transpositions in checkers, due to the limited piece movements. So a lot of lines can be pruned simply due to the transpositions.

I second it.

Chess is more good then checkers
