What I've found so far:
 * Obviously for the most part, draughts being used as the principal name for that game: draughts
 * As cited above, "chequers" is the correct British spelling of the word, when used: chequers
 * The script to The Silver Turk uses "checkers" spelling: checkers
 * Chinese chequers (spelling from Revolution Man: chequers
 * How to Play Four-dimensional Chinese Checkers, and Win (short story): checkers
 * In PROSE: Millennium Shock, "Chequers" is apprently the name of the Prime Minster Terry Brooks' private residence: Chequers
 * Doctor Moon is described as a "virus checker" (cannot confirm spelling, but don't really need to): in-universe example of "checker" being used in a different sense, which would make no sense as chequer and absolutely should not be replaced.
 * Hence, if we do decide chequer is the correct spelling, this cannot be maintained by bot, at least not without a lot of manual filtering. There will be exceptions where the spelling absolutely should be checker, certainly.
