International Chess (Chess)

Chess is a competitive recreation for two players. Being one of the world's most popular game, chess is played by millions worldwide. Chess engages the mind, excites the heart and enriches the soul. A mere 64 squares can bring about an approximate 10¹²³ unique combinations. "To see the infinity within the finite, that's beauty." ~ Louis Chin, 2007.

Reversi (Othello)

One famous sentence says it all “A minute to learn, a lifetime to master”. Othello is an abstract, two-player strategy game played on an 8x8, 64-square board. The objective is to end the game with more discs of your own colour face up. Othello is a far more complex game than most players realize and it can be both frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Many moves are counter-intuitive; strategies such as flipping the greatest number of discs at the start and/or occupying the four corner squares are pure misconceptions and do not guarantee a win. Control, mobility, sacrifices, tactics, tempo... are all part of Othello.

Weiqi (Go)

Weiqi uses the most elemental concepts -- line and circle, black and white -- combining them with simple rules to generate subtle strategies and complex tactics that stagger the imagination. As Edward Lasker, a chess grandmaster and one of the first westerners to discover weiqi observed, "Weiqi is something unearthly . . . If there are sentient beings on other planets, then they play Weiqi." Weiqi is unique among mind sports as it uses both the left and right brain, to excel requires not only logic, but also imagination. Computers, which excel at the former, have defeated world champions of chess, and yet, lacking the latter, are easily vanquished by amateur weiqi players with less than two years of experience.
