Chess or Draughts

"Better" may include a lot of presumptions.
Try to reformulate your question.
Moreover, what do you intend to gain by posing a question which requires to compare different game which have different game objectives and different means of achieving these objectives?

You can play both, it's fun. I started playing draughts when I got exhausted from playing chess. There's no point in answering your question, just play what you want, buddy.

@Windy_Valley For the same reasons that we don't compare apples to oranges, or likewise, hockey to football, we don't compare chess to draughts for revealing what is the best. Dumb and mentally retarded people tend to do this in almost any instance, but they are wasting their time.
There are different reasons why some players prefer chess to draughts and vice versa; as well, there are different reasons, why for some players the chess is easier, but for other ones the draughts is easier. Nevertheless, it doesn't make one game better than other.

Football and Hockey are compared (sports usually do)
Your saiyng that peapole that compare are retarded?
So your saiyng im retarded?

Football and hockey are never compared: they demand DIFFERENT playing grounds, DIFFERENT skills, DIFFERENT working loads and trainings, DIFFERENT expenses, DIFFERENT team work, etc.
Making absolute comparisons (i.e., what is better) can be unhealthy. It is better to make relative comparisons (i.e., what is better for ME, what brings better INCOME, what gives better BENEFITS to society or community etc.), so you need to put a comparison into some CONTEXT.
As well, from anthropological perspective, it should be noted that many ingenious nations don't have a word for making comparisons: they treat each thing as UNIQUE, they respect UNIQUENESS and, indeed, it is healthy attitude.
