Chess or checkers?

[thechariot1x]

chess wins by far in my opinion

How can you even compare the two?  Checkers is a dead draw every time.  How about comparing chess to Go?  I can’t even get started with Go, and I can play a competent game of chess.

goh is just chess from the orient. Its the complete antithesis to chess.

Chess is the better of the two in my opinion, requiring much deeper thought.

I also like Chess variants such as Feudal:

Checkers is for people who are too lazy to play Chess in my opinion and if you don’t have the time to play, play Stratego

[Guest]

Stratego definitely rewards the defensive player.

Stratego definitely rewards the defensive player.

Stratego is all about where you place your spy, bombs, flag, and field marshall. Nothing else makes much difference it seems.

Generals was a better version of stratego:

go to chess.com, it’s free and you can play against me and many other people from around the world. Chess wins hands down.

Yeah, I have an account, but haven’t been on in a while.

I’ve just joined a Go club, and I’ve pretty much converted.  Chess is still awesome, but Go is better.
