When I am bored I usually place checkers. Its a game of pure thinking. They say old people should play games like these because it keeps their memory going. But for youngsters like me, its a game about winning. It takes a lot of skill and practice to get good at the game. I have been playing for several years and it all started when my Grandpa taught me. He was always into card game, checkers, chess, and many others. I wanted to know how to play, especially checkers, so he taught me. I have been using his knowledge to play against my friends, and trust me it works. I have became so good at checkers now that I wish I was in a tourtnment or something. Playing a game for money, how cool would that be? I would definitely enroll myself in something challenging like that. Every once in a while I challenge a friend into playing me. They always under estimate me, maybe its because I'm short, I don't know. It works for me because they are all hyped up, until they see my strageties. Its not a game about who's smarter, but who has more skill. It really does make you think, and befoe you make a move you have to study it. You have to think about what move he might make. Always backing yourself up is a pluse, you have to be ready for anything. Checkers will always be one of my favorite games to play! I will never get bored from playing checkers.
