Hello how may I help you? how do I play chess? Sorry, chess is a complicated matter that I am unable to help with. what about checkers? Yes I am able to help with that. Is checkers hard? Sorry I am a bot that only talks about the rules of the game. I can't answer that query. can I use any color pieces? At the start of the game only you can use the pieces that you are assigned to. what colors? You are able to use red and black; and in some versions of Checkers, such as Chinese checkers, marbles are used instead.
