Why is "checkers" so hated by chess players?
Sort:
hello. I am a chess player but I see that several players (not all) hate checkers. Someone explain to me why this hatred, I don't understand, it's like South Korea and North Korea. Explain your conclusions.

Well, checkers is seen as a knock off to chess, or the game for not smart people, as opposed to chess which is supposedly a "smart person" game. But in my experience, it's mostly joking when they are hating on checkers.
That's as far as I know anyways

Checkers isn’t hard if you get a half-decent start, because it’s all preset, with chess you never know. I don’t thing I’ve ever lost a game of checkers
Oh, it's quite simple. Chess players hate "checkers" because it's just too intellectually challenging for them. The sheer complexity and strategic depth of "checkers" completely overwhelms their feeble chess-playing minds. They can't handle the mind-boggling decision-making involved in moving a simple red or black disc across a board. It's truly a tragedy that such geniuses are forced to settle for the mediocrity of chess when "checkers" exists as the pinnacle of intellectual pursuit.

They say, Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. You've sort only demonstrated that with your post.

Ah, how fascinating! Your razor-sharp analysis of wit and sarcasm truly astounds me. It's almost as impressive as watching paint dry on a dull winter afternoon. But hey, who am I to stand in the way of your pursuit of mediocrity? Carry on, dear maestro of banality.

Are you familiar with the concept of sarcasm, by any chance?
