Excellent content Boss and especially to the mathematical minds (like mine) who often look at mind games by its numbers. Draughts is a game of very simple rules which is their big advantage and disadvantage at once - advantage because everyone understand them and can START to play draughts without any training or preparation and disadvantage because to many people game of such simple rules must be a simple game and very likely you will have to fight with this myth by the end of the world cause 99% of the people have no interest to look closer into them and only way to change their opinion is to get across to them and educate by f.e. spreading videos like this one. I'm perfect example of person who got fascinated with draughts after realizing how this "simple game" is so complicated game in fact with number of possible outcomes impossible to get them all not only by any human but so far by computer too and the more people realize it, the more fans draughts (as a professional sport) will have. I was lucky to understand it rather quickly thanks to my math passion but how many people from the general public is passionate for math? Yeah exactly and that means you have to educate, educate and educate the people how this "simple game" is a complex game by making more content like this.

Being solved does not imply it is simple. From a purely computational perspective, being able to calculate all the possible positions says nothing about checker's complexity. It would be different if there was a simple algorithm that gives the optimal move given any position, without relying on previous computation (i.e. memorizing every position). So, for a human, it really doesn't matter if a computer can memorize every position. In fact, since the number of positions is so large, it doesn't make it any easier than chess in a practical sense.

Excellent and concise video! As you rightly stated - checkers (draughts) has simple rules and yet is a complex strategy board game. And as alluded to by Mr. Vassily Ivanchuk, it is a difficult game to master especially because of the multiple capture computations and calculations. Overall, I prefer the 10x10 variant of draughts because it is far less reliant on a vast memorization of openings and patterns but focuses more on strategy and deep calculations, allowing you to develop your own style of play. Of course chess also requires deep calculations and strategy but as the great Bobby Fischer himself remarked - chess is more about pre-arrangement and memorization with creativity being lower down on the list - making chess less enjoyable as you advance. Either way, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you are satisfied with which ever game you choose to invest your time.

Also she could have tried to defend the attacked piece instead of starting jumps. Neither cases would allow black to capture 5 in her response. I don't really see how is that so simple as you say.

I prefer chess over checkers, and it's clear that chess is the more "intellectual" game. But I hate the snobbery that chess is somehow better than checkers, or even that there's no point to playing checkers, because checkers is solved. Well guess what, when there's one piece and 7 pawns on the board, chess is solved, and that doesn't stop the snobs from playing/liking chess.

Im also a historian who has done alot of research into what youre talking about in this video. In addition , i have decoded alot of the masonic symbolism that the numbered board contains. Im not a feeemason but i solved the 33rd mystery. Its called solomans temple and is why cake starts out with the second double corner if you just let the computer play itself. The second dbl corner is symbolic of the mathematical solution to solomans temple 😉. I solved using gematria. The letters we all use come from numbers . A = 1 b = 2 etc, who knew ?!😮

Lol, Ivanchuk is actually one of the most talented and creative GMs of pre-engine era still alive today and even in history. He is a fan of checkers as well, and he explains only one aspect of the game, which is actually true. And also yeah, for a top level GM like he is, chess is really mostly quite simple, but getting there is impossible to the most. Overall, chess is of course more complicated for both people and computers, but which is easier for you depends on your talent, training, and competition.

That's not what he's saying: he's simply pointing out that, due to multiple holds, a single move can result in a significant change in the game's configuration. This makes calculations over several moves ahead sometimes more difficult than in chess. Nobody disputes the great complexity of chess. The fact is, contrary to popular belief, checkers is not a simple little game, but a complex, high-level game that has nothing to envy chess in this respect.

@@checkers_tv But I don't think we can say a 2450 checkers player has the same skills as a 2450 chess player. I think 200-300 Elo points need to be added to the ratings of all checkers players to make the levels correspond better with chess. Unfortunately, in chess we have huge cheating problems right now. Hopefully checkers are not destroyed like that but I don't know much about what's going on in the world of checkers. I'm a chess player. I find checkers rules confusing. Too many rules for too many variants. The worst thing is that checkers don't receive enough funds and support. That's wrong. The game is very similar to chess.
