My final addition to this thread, and one that I hope ends all argument:
Chess players are able to learn checkers very quickly. Though the tactics are slightly different, once a chess player knows how to spot them the game seems almost frighteningly simple.
Try teaching chess to a checkers player, and see what happens. The pawns are particularly confusing to them. 
@ Haiku575 There was no arguments, everybody is trashing checkers.
Leave Checkers alone.
@ goldendog Good one.
chess is a single digit century invention, checkers was a double digit

10 million sounds like an underapproximation.
Just to fix the numbers ... this is from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_draughts)
"The number of legal positions in English draughts is estimated to be 10^20, and it has a game-tree complexity of approximately 10^40. By comparison, chess is estimated to have between 10^43 and 10^50 legal positions."
