Checkers. I don't remember the rules of chess. Although, at the nearby mall, there is a gigantic chess board and giant pieces that I'm tempted to play.

I've never learned how to play either, but they look way too hard for me.

Maybe someday I'll learn.

*Which i never read anyway

Checkers, even though I royally suck. No clue how to play chess.

Checkers I'm not that good but at least I know how to play. My brothers know how to play chess but it's too confusing for me.

Checkers ! I like things more simple !

Chess bores me. Well actually I never really learned how to play ! No interest , seems too tedious!

For those of you who have never played Chess, it is a very easy game to learn.

For myself, I find chess to be an exercise of frustration and I have not played anyone in years and do not enjoy playing a computer opponent. Like I said, learning the game is very easy, but mastering it is very difficult.

Checkers is OK, but my rule is that a player is not mandated to jump another player of that is the obvious move. Checkers is also a game of strategy and skill. Don’t underestimate that game at all. While it is more simplistic than Chess, there are similarities in strategy and skill set.

Not mentioned, but Connect Four is another fun game that uses checkers that utilizes some of the strategy of checkers and even chess because the idea is to connect four of the same color checkers in a row, and basically to win is to create two ways to win the other player cannot defend. Sort of like chess in this regard.
