The age old debate. What do you guys like better? Chess for me. I could play for hours on straight. Already played for 3 today (lol). Checkers is kinda boring
Chess. I've only played a short game of checkers, and I'm not too adept at the rules.

If you know chess, you should be able to figure out checkers in all of about a minute.
I watched my parents play chess when I was around 4, so I picked it up then. Chess seems very natural to me. So I wouldn't sweat learning it if you have to Pirate. Checkers the rules confused me on the other hand, but I didn't pay it too much attention--can't you have double stacks or something in checkers? Pretty confusing. Chess your different figures just have certain moves, and that's the main part to remember.

I learned the basics when I was younger thanks to a little game called Battle Chess. Been wanting to pick it up and really learn it but just don't have the motivation or anyone that would actually want to play it. :P

"The age old debate. What do you guys like better?"
It's not a debate. I like chess.

It is a debate No, there is no debate as to which one us guys "like better." Everyone knows (for the most part) which one they like better. It is a debate of which is better, nothing to do with you. I tend to find women like checkers a lot more than chess. Interesting

Which one members of OT prefer and which one is better are not the same thing. Keep up, son.
[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="brucewayne69"] I tend to find women like checkers a lot more than chess. Interesting you're talking to the wrong women. =P Tell me about it. Haven't met too many women who can even play chess tbh, but everyone can play checkers

you're talking to the wrong women. =PI have to agree. Most women I've known like chess. I played competitively back in high school. Even won a couple local tourneys.
