I prefer chess.
I think it's more interesting. I used to play chess with my brother for hours.

Oh, chess without a doubt. Come on, there's nothing quite like a good ol' fashioned blitzkreig King-rush.

Checkers however, does have a place as a "step-up" game, so that the younger players may learn the nuances of board movement, rules, etc, before pushing on to the infinitely more complex (and thereby replayable) Chess.

Checkers usually plays out more or less the same each time, but chess is a different game no matter how many opponents, nor how many times each is played.

Hands down, the rooks win!

Incidentally, though I don't have the link, there is a flash game out there, multiplayer/yadayada called Kung-Fu Chess. Excellent game, ramps up the strategy and time by a thousand, since both players move all pieces at the same time, with a timer on each piece after it is moved. -VERY- quick thinking needed.

Dude, chess beats checkers anyday. Chess is much more complex and fun than just jumping over little circled Red or Black circles. If you have played chess, have you forgotten the thinking need in order to win? In checkers, much less thnking and strategy is needed, as every piece (Unless a king, which can go backwards) has basically the same powers. So yeah, my vote goes to Chess

It's more engaging than checkers, long story short. And not many people I know actually took the time to learn how to play, but everyone I know plays checkers! It just makes me feel smart when I play now. Lol.
