There's no such thing as casual/hardcore games. Casual or hardcore is in the way you play games, not the games themselves. If you have seen some Wii Play youtube videos you probably know what I mean.

The same for chess, you can play it casually or hardcore.

 Why do game sites call it casual?

It's a misnomer.
