Why play chess when you can play more fun modern strategy board games (especially to lose) Concordia, Dominion, Agricola, Wingspan, Keyflower, Yellow & Yangtze etc..?
Chess is fine, but there are far more stimulating experiences in modern board gaming that are just as deep and a hell of a lot more fun.
I've literally never heard of any of them. I knew the rules of chess since I was 5 or 6.
Check out modern board gaming, chess is a mediocre abstract game with no theme that is very unsatisfying to play unless you are evenly matched with someone.
I will choose neither as I don't have any time for games
