>best strategy game

Well, that´s a matter of opinion I think, but it´s the deepest and the most abstract game, that´s for sure.

I like to think Chess is like a Piano, the complexity is there but you can still see and check each note/game line. It´s complicated, but also definite enough to play it well with "just" a lot of skill.

Go in the other hand is more like a Violin. In adittion to the complexity you have to develop a sense to intuit where the notes are, where and how to play it. It´s more abstract, more about "feeling" what to do.

Also you need to harmonize the local and concrete game with a global board vision, as you need to harmonize the different functions of each hand to play Violin.

I just imported all six of the games between Kasparov and Deep Blue into Lichess:

Game 1: http://en.lichess.org/LjzjplYD
Game 2: http://en.lichess.org/vYlieZtf/black
Game 3: http://en.lichess.org/vYlieZtf/black
Game 4: http://en.lichess.org/vYlieZtf/black
Game 5: http://en.lichess.org/vYlieZtf/black
Game 6: http://en.lichess.org/9UCEVa5W/black

I like how you can look at the analyses and see Kasparov starting to lose his fucking mind.
