1) It's simple to learn, so anyone can play it.
2) Including grandparents.
3) There is no blood or gore (calm down nerds I'm not talking about battle chess)
4) There is no storyline
5) Game sites are calling Chess casual.
6) It's sold a ton of copies.
Chess - casual game for the masses?
Bonus question: Can you name one game *before* video games that was hardcore?
