Actually, the game called Go (Japanese strategy game), also known as Waichi (Chinese name) is a much more strategy rich game. It has also been around for a few thousand years, and is significantly more complex than Chess.

I would love to see you be productive (get work accomplished) whilst / through playing Chess, or even by utilising the strategies you use to play and win Chess.
