Checkers Indeed

     Who could have imagined that the game checkers has been around since 3000B.C. This is a great game that allows even a 4 year old to best an opponent much older. It's a game that looks like no strategy is needed when in fact there is.
     For one thing who can deny the pleasure of a triple hope, or love the feeling of saying "king me". Me and my friend entrenched ourselves in a battle of checkers today...and let's just say I should have won. I had two kings to his one and I still lost...I blame it on the motions of the game.
     This is a game that is often compared to chess, but let's be serious checkers is...much better. All I have to say is, I'd rather say king me then check mate.
