Chris Plays Checkers.
"I hereby take occasion to assert that the highest
powers of the human intellect are more decidedly
and more tasked by the unostenratious game of Draughts,
than by all the elaborate frivolity of Chess.
"In the latter, where the pieces have different and
bizarre motions, with various and variable values,
what is only complex is mistaken (a not unusual error)
for what is profound."
Edgar Allan Poe, Murders of the Rue Morgue
