I love Carcassonne on Board Game Arena. It is much lighter than chess and takes 15-20 mins in a 2p game, but still offers enough challenge. There's excellent balance between trying to screw the other player (by stealing their roads, cities, blocking cities etc) and making your own points by completing your roads, cities etc. There's certainly an element of luck in terms of tiles you get in your hands so it doesn't always work out but it is 20% luck imo, and evens out across games. Also, it works incredibly well from 2 to 3 players, but 4 or more gets more luck based for me at least. 2 and 3p games are dramatically different in strategy, with 3p games being about competing and collaborating simultaneously at different places on the board - which is so much fun! Lots of trickery, probability and fun figuring out the best moves
