Facts...
Mother Teresa was a humanitarian.
Jerry Falwell was an entrepreneur come politician (please feel free to observe the double entendre)
Laying aside the sometime melancholy burden of atheism momentarily...
Hypothetical (facetious) Answers
(i) ...If they played, Falwell would win every time. He always knew how to play 'the game'.
(ii)...Would Agnes've been allowed to play? After all, as a woman (and what a wonderful woman) , she was a second class citizen whilst here, according to the dictates and mandates of her misguided and male orientated religion and our religion based 'civilised' society
Would it not be the same in heaven?
(or maybe that's why they call it paradise: Everyone treated as equals regardless of sex, sexuality, race, colour, creed...etc)
(iii)... Falwell can't play yet; he's only a level 1 newbie and you don't get your games room card till level 3!
OW... (sorry; I fell off my soapbox there...)
And in closing...
I have a wonderful image of Falwell trying to get a microphone to continue blabbing and being told that Jesus, Freddie Mercury and Selma Lagerlöf have it eternally booked to work on their new version of "I am what I am..."

I'd guess Jerry Falwell lives in a trailer park just outside of heaven, and Mother Teresa is too busy for checkers. she may have even decided to be a guardian angel around earth, but Falwell is probably spying on people having sex.

Short answer: Only if they both want to!
Falwell would have to be in Heaven, but I certainly consider that possible. He was often hateful (I'm one of the fags he verbally bashed as a group), but I never detected insincerity. I'm quite sure my church has canonized people who were politically wrong--and not always charitable--too!
If Mother T. already knew the game, she might call it draughts (the British term). If not, learning new things must be one of the joys of Heaven. Getting to know new people must be another joy, more so if their backgrounds differ greatly from your own. And playing games is one way of socializing.
Of course, we aren't believed to have actual bodies until the Resurrection. But if blindfolded chess is possible, surely virtual checkers is too!

If there is an afterlife, and how good of a person you were in life determines where you end up, I can assure you that Mother Teresa and Falwell are nowhere near each other.

That will be very hard. Jerry Falwell is currently burning in Hell.
This is because Falwell in life was an evil bigot who promoted divisiveness and hate against all, but white straight Americans.
If there is any justice in the Afterlife he must daily (if not constantly) be sodomized by Satan himself.

They try, but the guys who flew the planes into the World Trade Center keep kicking the board over and running away. They're really starting to get on Mother Teresa's pecs.

As was her nature when she was alive, Mother Teresa will welcome him with open arms, assuming Falwell even makes it to heaven, but he'd just ignore her with some racist comment.

Do you really think Mother Teresa would really have anything to do with that piece of crap?

That would be tough to do... cause they wouldn't be in the same place. "Heaven" is for good people, Jerry was not.
