Patron Saint of Checkers???

OK, saint experts, does anyone have an answer to the following email query I received today? I've exhausted my normal channels and I'm stumped!

Good evening Lisa from the World of Checkers Museum. Today we received an
email asking us to name the Catholic saint who loved playing checkers and he
was far from being an obscure saint. His name is very familiar to all Catholics. His checkerboard was kept at the reliquary. Please let us hear from
you if you can assit us with this question. Don

Your ancestor St. Therese of Lisieux states in her autobiography that she loved playing checkers with her father. Love and Misses, Dad
