Question

Can someone who is very good in chess generally beat someone who is very good in checkers?

Answer 1

thats a really good quaestion because chess is different from checkers

Answer 2

Depends on what they are playing.  If chess, the chess player wins.  If checkers, the checker player wins.

If, say, go or something, it is even.

Answer 3

he'd have a better chance than the checker player has at beating him

Answer 4

No. in chess, yes, but not neccisarily in both. thats like saying i good dancer will be a good basketball player.

people assume chest is harder because chest is more complicated. but in reality once you began to play the greatm players, strategy becomes focus rather than just waiting for your oppoments move.

chess is hard because it takes alot of focus to Checkmate thier king while protecting yours.

BUT

the game of checkers the board is packed with pieces and you do not have the option to move back only forward.

two totally different games. in my opinion; no

Answer 5

In what game?

Answer 6

bobby fischer was great at chess but terrible at checkers.

mikhail botvinnik was great at both.

they are different games, great chess players remember themes and positions from previous games, going into a checkers game with no experience in that game they would probably lose.
