whom do we get to play chess against? IBOT? 
If IBOT loses will we finally be allowed to smoke in the forums?(keke ...I hate chess because I always lose at it.)
But with the exception of chess I do like turn based games that require certain amt of thinking and also action and where you can spend hours searching for clues and shooting with blood gore spatter everywhere. like in Fallout1 and Fallout2 where you can use minigun to pump somebody full of lead.
I also from time to time enjoy old games of yester-years that have gone under the radar and playing them over and over again to look for the bugs or better way to win them. I used to check out the "underdog games" website that hosted all the cool old games in the early 80's and downloaded them for free then used dosbox to play them. cool.

dm
DM(8) BSD System Manager's Manual DM(8) NAME
dm -- dungeon master SYNOPSIS
ln -s dm game DESCRIPTION
dm is a program used to regulate game playing. dm expects to be invoked with the name of a game that a user wishes to play. This is done by creating symbolic links to dm, in the directory /usr/games for all of the regulated games. The actual binaries for these games should be placed in a ``hidden'' directory, /usr/lib/games/dm, that may only be accessed by the dm program. dm determines if the requested game is available and, if so, runs it. The file /etc/dm.conf controls the conditions under which games may be run. The file /etc/nogames may be used to ``turn off'' game playing. If the file exists, no game playing is allowed; the contents of the file will be displayed to any user requesting a game. FILES
/etc/dm.conf configuration file /etc/nogames turns off game playing /usr/lib/games/dm directory of ``real'' binaries /var/games/games.log game logging file SEE ALSO
dm.conf(5) HISTORY
The dm command appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Two issues result from dm running the games setgid ``games''. First, all games that allow users to run UNIX commands should carefully set both the real and effective group ids immediately before executing those commands. Probably more important is that dm never be setgid any- thing but ``games'' so that compromising a game will result only in the user's ability to play games at will. Secondly, games which previ- ously had no reason to run setgid and which accessed user files may have to be modified. BSD May 31, 1993 BSD
