Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Checker Player I have frequently been asked Which is the deepest game, checkers or chess? To which I have replied, In one respect they are just alike, both being unfathomable and beyond the com prehension of the human mind. The game of checkers, as an intellectual pastime, has no supe rior. It causes the rich and poor to intermingle in the most friendly manner capital and labor are Often seen struggling across the board in the most social style. Esteem and friendships spring up between devotees of the game, both far and near. It was claimed by some that the playing of checkers is condu cive to longevity. Judging from the long lives of some of the Buffalo players, I must admit that such is the case. Here is my old friend L. L. Hodges, with whom I played many a game forty years ago and since, and now at the age of eighty nine he plays a few hours nearly every afternoon. Mr. Hodges commenced playing at the age of ten years, and at fifteen was probably the best player in this country, and for many years was not excelled by any player in the United States, and I have no doubt he is now the strongest player of his age.
