Both of those board games are over-rated, which is why most play online games nowadays.

Chess is way better then checkers, it envolves more thinking and more stratagy, i suck at chess compared to some one who does tournaments but i still love to play, as long as my opponent is as bad as me lol.

Chess is much better due to its complexity. With checkers all the pieces are the same and they can only do the same. It is incomparable to checkers. Chess is awesome.

I love checkers its easy and fun and a ten year can grasp the concept and play a good game the very first time. Chess is a sublime interaction with infinite variations and complexities. If I had to give up one I would give up checkers in a heartbeat.

I will definitely have to disagree with you on this one Scorpion. Chess is a wonderful inextricably complicated game, the Queen who can move in any direction all over the board has to protect her King at all times, and will inevitably give up her life to do so. However, a pawn who safely moves across the board can become the King's new Queen. The King can only move in any direction, one step at a time. The opening gambit, is extremely complicated, and the game has been known to take up to a year to reach its conclusion, and more often and not ends up in stalemate. It's a beautiful game of great diversity and intellectual stimulation, and requires a lot of creativity and skill. There's far too much jumping going on in Checkers...;-)

just because one is good or even great at chess, does not indicate he will be worth a tinker's dam @ checkers.

HA HA HA ;-)


I have never been beaten at Checkers in my entire life!
or, at Monopoly, or at Risk, the board-games.

You don't have to look out for check mate but you do have to look out for jumping 5-10 at once!!!!

Checkers is like fast food Chess is like having a fully prepared home cooked meal.

It stimulates the mind and develop critical thinking.
