Chess Is Better Than Checkers!
I love both games but am more partial to a good game of chess. It is more involved and skillful as you need to be able to think more decisively with all the pieces. In checkers you just move some counters around in a very monotonous way. Your thoughts.

Chess has much more depth to it. Checkers is a decent game but it is to chess what rounders is to cricket.

Chess is more sophisticated and has cooler looking pieces. Chess inspires international competitions by great minds, complex computer programs, and broadway musicals. Checkers inspires what? - Banjo playing, or the Nixon's to name their dog, or taxi cabs?

I've never really understood checkers. Chess is cool because there are so many different pieces that have different abilities.

Good checkers players also use lots of strategic vision, but I'm inclined to believe that Chess uses even more.

I like chess much more than checkers. I think it's because the game seems to last longer and needs more thought and strategy put into it than a game of checkers. But that may just be me..

Depends on your opponent.

Chess takes too long. You don't get to "jump" in chess either. You just kill each other. So violent.

 Yes you do. The knigt goes over things, hence "jumping"

Just depends on what level, and for what stakes you are playing for. I'd say both are equal, and both games when played by seasoned players more often than not end up in a Stale Mate! I prefer a good game of Snakes and Ladders, it's got that extra element of chance...;-)

 Not if you played my sister, she was allowed to go up snakes as well as ladders which made her very difficult to beat.
