There are two ways I see gamers define hardcore,
A) The players
B) The games
People who follow "A" believe that the game doesn't matter, but how you play it. I often see WoW players define each other as hardcore and casual.
People who follow "B" believe that games are defined as hardcore or casual. I often see it used in console arguments, for example, Wii Sports is casual and Halo is hardcore.
If you favor the "B" definition, I want to know what you think Chess is and why.
