Which type of Board game are you better at chess or checkers? I am better at playing checkers because it was easier for me to learn but I know nothing about chess.

I am best at chess. I have been playing for 7 years. I learned because it's what most of my friends from school did during our lunch break.

I can play both....I'm much better at Checkers though. Chess requires lots of thinking and strategy, Checkers does too but not as much.

I like to play Chess more instead of Checkers. I am usually pretty decent at playing both.

Hm, I never knew chess or checkers was a sport. =/

I'm good at both really but I guess I'd have to say I'm a bit better at chess then anything.

I prefer checkers more usually only based on the fact that not many people play chess that often. And plus the fact I've rarely played it so i'm not that great at it either...

Least with checkers its easier to think of future moves as pieces can only move in a maximum of 4 directions xD

I'm better at chess because it is more strategic. Plus you get more space on the board and you aren't limited to moving diagonal.

I'm better at Checkers, but I like Chess better. My brother always beats me at both of them. He has mild autism, so chess comes naturally to him.

crazycatpup : Haha. They are not sports. Anyone who wants to claim it is a sport is likely someone who just wants to be considered an athlete .

Anyway, checkers has gotten boring for the most part. It is hard to find someone who is 'good' at checkers. I already found a strategy (one for going first and another for going second), that makes it almost a for sure win from the beginning unless the other person does one of four specific moves, but they rarely do. When they do, it is usually random moving. Chess is much more engaging and requires changes in strategy constantly. It is far less predictable.

I'm best at chess... I find it a lot more interesting than checkers.

A lot more things to calculate and unsolved by even the best computer engines.
