Chess isn’t harder. It is different and I won’t even listen to the opinions of those who haven’t played both and played them seriously.
i have played checkers in fact used to only play checkers nice guess/assumption though
What level did you play at?
i played only in person i never took an official rating
fact of the matter checkers is kind of boring and the pieces are dull, ugly, and lack character. i also don't like the fact that the pieces don't have different roles and purposes. also in chess the underdog can still win with little pieces if playing well.
