I like Chess a lot more, because there are so many different pieces that do different moves and checkers has only two types of pieces.

I like chess better because it's a more intellectual game. It requires more skill, and better strategy. Plus it's more fun and interesting.

Checkers is best if you don't have much time, or want an easy game where you don't have to think to much. I prefer chess though, since there's so many possibilities and it's such a fun way to keep your mind sharp.

There have been more books writen in chess than any other sport/game.

It is at once an art, science, and sport. Ever since it was popular people have been spending lifetimes studying it.

Chess is THE game.

Definitely Chess. You can only spend so long playing Checkers until you start to get bored but with Chess, there's an incredible amount of Strategy involved that you can play it for hours. Compared to all board games, as Light Knight said, Chess is THE game.

For anyone who doesn't know how to play Chess, I highly recommend you learn it because it's a lot of fun and one of the very few board games that require 0% luck and 100% strategy. This thread may actually inspire me to find a Chess app that I could install on Vizzed Board which would let members play against each other in games of Chess

my vote goes to chess. It's just a better game.

No game of Chess is totally the same. The possibilities for how to start and win seem endless. And it's all about strategy.... so you have no one to blame but yourself when you lose

Chess by far, because it involves so much strategy.


And I really love the fact that there are some moves that most people don't know are legal, so when you use them people go all "WHAT DID YOU JUST DO!?".

If there was a chess game on Vizzed, that would just be total bliss! I don't think I'd ever leave!

DM: What moves are you talking about? Do you mean castling? Or some really obscure, unknown ones like au passant?

A couple random chess facts: Chess came from a game played in ancient Persia. It had, I believe, 27 pieces per player, and was called hnefatafl.

I didn't know the exact specific of au passant but I have seen it used. I absolutely love castling though, but yeah those were the moves I were speaking of.

hypermonkey: We actually had one on the old vizzed but it was PHP based and kinda sucked. There are so many Chess apps out there that I could install a really good one probably for a cheap price too. I'd prefer one Flash based so that it'd be more 'real time' than PHP would be and would also be more attractive looking. Whichever app I use, I'd add a statistics that keeps track of your wins and losses, would be a lot of fun and there could even be Viz betting involved and could even have tournaments with a jackpot prize of Viz.

I'm suprised at the amount of people who don't know about castleling.

Chess is a game I would love to study and know all the gambits and games and really be good at... but I didn't had enough motivation to stick with it.

Although I play checkers more often, I still prefer chess, it is really a GREAT game, and it doesn't depend on luck at all.

Chess has been around for many years and has been a stable in many peoples lifes. My vote goes to chess because that game has so many outcomes you never know what will happen in it.

Checkers is better, chess is like playing with hacks. One guy can move a space and another can roam all around the board.

They need a circular chess though that would be quite interesting and have everyone start off in middle of board.
