Never enjoyed checkers, even as a kid. It's in the same category as tic tac toe for me.

Chess players rarely play checkers well.

Checkers is a game of strategy, everything is the same piece and can be lost

Chess is a game of blundering your queen

Chess is a game that is very complicated

Checkers is simple to learn

Checkers makes my brain shrink, that's why I keep well away from it & the people that play it.
