+1 for Bridge.
Bridge is a game of short-term and long-term memory, strategy (in long matches), tactics, deduction, induction, risk assessment, hidden information, and finally a strong test of character, and your judgment of the characters of others. Unlike chess it does not seem to have a "limit" where you stop getting smarter and start merely learning more about chess. There's a reason it's the favorite game of some of the world's smartest and richest men.
- TylerE 13y agoDo you play on BBO? Always looking for good partners, especially those interested in playing weird stuff, which I have a feeling you might...
- cynicalkane 13y agoMy BBO name is ckane, but I haven't found much time nowdays. Feel free to add me and maybe we'll catch each other.
- TylerE 13y agoWill do... I'm TylerE so should be easy to see. When I'm own it's usually about 7-12PM EST.
- TylerE 13y agoAnother nice thing about bridge is that most tournaments are open, and even if flighted you're almost always given the option of "playing up". I, as a serious amateur have had the chance to play against probably 3 of the top 10 players in the world, and anther 10-15 that are probably top 100. I'm not talking exhibition games either, like a chess simul, but actual tournament play.
