Chess

A two-player strategy board game played on a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. Each player begins with 16 pieces, and each type of piece moves differently, with the most powerful being the queen and the least powerful the pawn. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting each other. (wiikipedia.org)

As someone of roughly 2200-2300 Elo strength who has loved the game since childhood and continues to derive enjoyment from it, there is really no other rating possible. As the great Siegbert Tarrasch once wrote, "chess has the power to make men happy".

Once I learned the 4 move checkmate I was unstoppable against everyone in the chess club. Yes, I was in the chess club, but for some odd reason, we were all mostly jocks with very few nerds. Canada really is Bizarro world.

It's a great game, but - unlike Go, a game I absolutely love - it almost always grows boring very fast for me. So though I can definitely see the appeal, I have to admit that I don't really enjoy playing it.

After you learn the basics, it becomes a matter of learning off tons and tons of openings. A more strategic game is probably Go, except I was never able to learn that one. Or maybe one of the random variations of chess.

There's not much to say about chess. It's a perfectly balanced board game and it's probably the most influential game of all time. Plus, this game has been played for well over a millennium, so it had to have done something right. If you like turn-based tactics games, you'll like chess.
