[quote]Especially the towers (think they're the kings?)

Those are rooks buddy, and I say chess is better, I enjoy a good game of thinking and learning from other players. Checkers there are several tricks that are to be learned, but chess there are several more and so many things that are possible its quite entertaining!

CHESS RULES!

Yeah and I messed up my last post, only the first part was a quote. o_O Oh well.

CHESS STILL RULES!

chess requires.... um... thought?


checkers is NEARLY strategy - less.

lol yeah checkers is very easy or simple.

chess requires.... um... thought?

I dont like any there too boring but chess would be what I picked if I did like any.

What are you guys talking about saying Checkers doesn't require strategy? If you're playing against a good player it does.

Though I will admit that generally chess is a more difficult, thought out game.

I'm kinda like the same of them both. Chess is a little challenge for me. Checkers is easy. Gives me relaxation.

checkers is a short game for fun

chess can be a long game that requires alotto strategy

i like strategy; chess it is

Hmm, I like to sit down and play a long hard game of Chess with my sister. It is challenging. I beat her 6 out 8 times.

Chess is nice. Relaxing. Not really much strategy required to play it.

Hmm, Chess it is Because I like Strategy.

Lol I like how you said chess twice.

Chess can't alive without checkers, you see, when you CHECK, or CHECKMATE, you have to say check!, you can't say ers!, or ersMate, can't you?

Hi, finally find a chess thread.

anyone like GO? it's Japanese chess

gokgs.com

some good sites to learn chess

chess.com
chessmaniac.com, there is a videos about Bobby Fischer, it's nostalgic.

Yahoo chess, they have good players but rude mouth.

viwawa.com, I'm also surfhenet here, but the scoring system is EPIC here lol

If anyone want to play chess with me, please leave me a comment, thx yoo!

I like both. Chess involves being able to think a few moves ahead and come up with strategies, but then again so does checkers, but on a much more "simple" level. However to not just sit on the fence I'll go with chess.

I will go with chess, mainly for the reason people keep saying, STRATEGY.

Of course a game that amps up the strategy level from chess is Stratego, and dare I say Risk?

I am not good at many things, but chess is something I can actually say I'm better than average at. Checkers doesn't involve as much skill, and I find it to be rather bland.
