In any case "chequers" the game isn't really a thing. Draughts is, and checkers is another name for that. The source you give proves that chequer is the proper spelling in place of checker (distinct from checkers), chequered in place of checkered, etc. So if we're talking about a chequered flag or chequered trousers, it's QU. I do not contest this. You will not, however, find a precedent anywhere in the DWU for a game called "chequers", because you won't even find a precedent in the real world for that.
