checkerboard and checkered

checkerboard and checkered

which should be used

Um... well either I guess. I'd say checkered so we can leave checkerboard for the actual objects, but I'd like to do an alias either way we go so it won't be available anyway.

Alias checkerboard to checkered.

checkered is an adjective describing something with a checkerboard pattern, fwiw.

Aliased to checkered.

so if there is an actual checker board, will the words be split?

or rather, checkers_board

You could just tag it "checkers" for the game name.
