What is harder, chess or checkers

I can guarantee if you would play a GM of checkers you’d all lose.  Unless you have studied the game. 

Finally dude! You're one of the few commenters here who understands the unreasonable comparison. I totally agree with you. These guys will belittle draughts game, but when they do challenge the GM or draughts, they will surely lose as you said.

Well, I see a few chess players here that has positive comments about checkers. But it's just too many more who speaks as though they know checkers (just because they know chess in comparison).

In chess you can make mistakes and still win. In chess you can lose a pawn and still win. In chess you can lose a piece and still win.

In checkers you lose with just one bad move. In checkers you have to see farther ahead than chess.

In my opinion...checkers is harder to be a top player than chess.

I play both and chess is way easier for me.

I really need to learn how to post. That was supposed to be one paragraph. 😕

Checkers is a joke compared to Chess. No question imo

checkers is almost all tactics because you have to take and every tactic is forced  chess has deeper strategy and also much harder tactics because taking isnt forced and there are much different pieces but i play and respect checkers but i think this is the truth

Chess is definitely harder. There are more pieces, terms, skills/techniques, and numbers to learn. Anyone can play checkers easily whether they win or lose, but with chess you have a bunch of different types of pieces with different styles of moving across the board so yeah chess is definitely harder. Like I had to read a book on chess just to figure out what counts as a checkmate and what does not count as a checkmate, while checkers is more straightforward and it is easier because they don’t have complex terms or numbers, and your main goal in checkers is to block all of the opponent’s moves or capture all of their checkers, so chess is miles harder.

Assuming that you’re not talking about Othello and Chess fighting on the same board (chess wins effortlessly because Chess pieces actually move while Othello pieces just change color), and assuming that you’re wondering which one is harder, then definitely Chess by miles. I just went on an Othello website and beat the guy on there within a few seconds with my score being 58 and his score being 6. It takes me way longer to beat Chess than that.

It's mad to hear how seasoned players of both games have respect. Whilst others are purely based on look at my wee statues and I'm clearly smart. It's either so online based nonsense or just pure sad 'laddery' based on wee gangs. All of which (like both parties) would be judged. Shame.

bruh only 1 upvote, that is so stupid there are so many comments and only 1 person upvoted??!?

im upvoting too

Checkers (both English and International) has notation, colorful opening names, opening theory, analyzed games, etc. English/American checkers has the second-largest volume of literature of any game, only behind chess.

Here is no need sign in Checkers to play.
