Chess has been branded by the videogame industry as "casual" as has a lot of other boardgame and cardgame stuff. And there is a degree of irony behind this also.

This is first I read Chess was casual. There are more books written on chess than any other game.  Since chess is one on one, two noobies can play each other because they both suck. Checkers or even Monoploy is a lot more casual than Chess.
