contents Let $D$ be a cellular alternating link diagram on a closed orientable surface $Σ$. We prove that if $D$ has no removable nugatory crossings then each checkerboard surface from $D$ is $π_1$-essential and contains no essential closed curve that is $\partial$-parallel in $Σ\times I$. Our chief motivation comes from technical aspects of a companion paper, where we prove that Tait's flyping conjecture holds for alternating virtual links. We also describe possible applications via Turaev surfaces.
