(I'd like to mention here that I did use a checker pattern for
my entry-winth-an-entry in the Robots round, but that was a
deliberate effort at being lame.)

If the anti-aliasing is good, the distance is usually a mix of the two
colors, and isn't really a problem.

The problem with checkered patterns in MPG files is the sharp edges
between the squares in the foreground.  Either you get a lot of
artifacts or you have a huge file.
