which one is better? I like Chess, mainly because it involves more skill.

Defenitely chess. It's a lot more challenging and takes skill. Fun, though. I was in the chess club last year and picked up a few tricks. I ended up being the best of the group (I've still got a long way to go, though)

Now I wanna play chess. :p

Ugh, I can't play and I don't like it but chess does require more skill so, chess.

Chess, for sure. It's much more complicated than checkers, as been stated by the others before me.

And I have to go with it as well.

I'm actually quite good at chess. I used to be on the chess team. I haven't played in forever.

Checkers. I never learned how to play Chess and I never really wanted to.

Chess. Reason being, it's the origin of PWNAGE.

I wonder...what would a HSR-themed chess set look like? Maybe regular characters for one side and Old-Timey characters for the other? :coachz: "I want to be the rork!" Or maybe it'd break down like this:

First side:
King - Homestar Runner
Queen - Marzipan
Bishop - King of Town
Knight - Pom-Pom
Rook - Coach Z
Pawn - Homsar

Second Side:
King - Strong Bad
Queen - Bubs
Bishop - Poopsmith
Knight - Strong Sad
Rook - Strong Mad
Pawn - The Cheat

Ooo, I'd buy that chess set!

My vote goes for chess, by the way. I'm amazing at chess but ridiculously terrible at checkers.

I dunno, I'd think it'd be mopre like this

King: Homestar
Queen: Marzipan
Bishop: Strong Bad
Knight: The Cheat
Rook: Strong Mad
Pawn: Strong Sad

And it'd be the same for both sides. Or maybe The Cheat could be the pawn and Pom Pom could be the knight. ('Cause he can... float over things)

Chess. It rhymes with finesse. And that's no accident.

Chess. I love playing chess, it's much mroe fun in my opinion. Also much more strategic. I was on the chess team this year and I kicked butt! (Pretty good considering I learned to play it four years ago.)
