Until the day I learned to play chess I loved playing checkers.
Both games require a strategy that maximizes a player's ability

Chess is a more complicated game than checkers as there are more
variables. Therefore, much more thought and concentration is
required to win a game of chess than is required to win a game
of checkers.
