47. Chess is regularly played with a clock. Checkers is for old men and children in front of CrackerBarrel waiting for a table.

"1.Chess is harder than checkers"
[citation needed]
"3. In checkers, you only play with 12 pieces -- in chess, you have 16!"
So this game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi) is the best of all?
"5. There are more variants in chess than in checkers"
Sure, but how many of those variants are played regularly?
"8. In chess, you get to play funny-sounding openings like the Bird, Orangutan, and Hippopotamus."
Checkers has good opening names as well, for example: Octopus, White Doctor, Skullcracker, Black Hole.
"11. chess has diffrent types of opennings, checkers has 2(start form the side or play from the middle)"
lol. Even if you play GAYP you have 7 different opening moves. Most serious people play 3-move random(with losing openings barred) when you have to learn the theory for 156 openings. And were not even talking about 11-man when there are a couple thousand openings. Only skill matters there.
"16.in chess you can have things named after you"
Implying that you can get anything named after you in either game when both have been studied for hundreds of years.
"36.Chess exercises the brain more than checkers."
[citation needed]
"40. as far as i know, there are no computers that anylize checkers."
see Kingsrow, Cake
"43. you get ratings in chess"
ACF ratings as pointed out by BobbyDK
"Oh well lets just say the rating system is better in chess then"
"Just more accurate"
Both are the exact same system. If anything the checkers ratings are more accurate as you can play and people play more games.
As having played both games I think Chess is indeed better, but Checkers still has incredible depth and it is an extremly fun game.
