Okay, I stand corrected by a footnote on Wikipedia's page: "When this word is used in the UK, it is usually spelt chequers (as in Chinese chequers)". This would not be used very commonly, of course, because it's an American term with British spelling, but we do follow British English here. I'd still like to see what DWU sources use for spelling, though. We do make exceptions from time to time.
