Lesson Learned: Never Play Checkers With Old People

Ok, so admittedly, a regular game of checkers doesn’t require the same amount of brain power as say a game of chess does, but Turkish checkers, that’s a completely different story. We may not understand the rules, the obvious trash-talking that’s going on, or exactly how this old-timer was able to completely humiliate his opponent in a high-level version of the game we used to lay as kids, but that doesn’t mean his victory isn’t still completely mind-blowing.

What starts off as a friendly game played with black and white stones on a chalk-drawn board quickly turns into a lesson as old as time itself: respect your elders because if you don’t, they’ll wipe the floor with your a**.
