Chess
Unlike many other games, playing chess does not involve an element of chance: The winner is whoever has the best strategy to outplay their opponent. It’s a game that requires a lot of thinking, and yet, while chess demands more of the player than many other games, playing chess is a popular pastime around the world. Millions of people play chess, from those who enjoy casual play in their home, online, or with a local chess club to those who play competitively in major tournaments. And since people of any age can compete for rankings and championships, even at the national or international level, the game of chess attracts players ranging from young children to seniors.
