in Chess there are lots of different types of pieces ====================================== To start with, the two games are played on two different boards. It's true! They may look the same, but in chess, the square in the lower right-hand corner is white. In checkers, it's black. (Of course, all you have to do is turn the board 90 degrees to change from one board to the other.) plus there are different rules and the pieces are way different. you could never play checkers with chess pieces or vice versa now when you talk about chess and checkers, you need to know that Mr. Morely says that when you do not tuck your shirt in, that is called "playing checkers". now when you tuck you shirt in, Mr Morely says that you are playing chess! what a guy!

A form of chess which would be unfamiliar to most players of the modern one was invented in 6th century India. Originally 3,000 BCE. Most of the rules we know were standard in 15th century Europe. See the related Wikipedia link for reliable sources.

Checkers, on the other hand, appears to be from 3000 B.C. Iraq, taking its current form in the 11th century A.D, also in Europe. Refer to the remaining links for details.
