chess is a more brain challenging game than any other board game

Advanced Squad Leader


A strategy game that took several years to develop with dozens of pages of complicated rules. Hard to get tougher than that.

Go

"While the baroque rules of Chess could only have been created by humans, the rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play go."
Edward Lansker


There are far more options to chose from in Go, making stratagem harder, and therefore more challenging.

It has been shown that whereas chess players use almost entirely the left side of the brain, Go "fully utilizes/integrates analytic (left brain) and artistic/pattern recognition (right brain) functions."

Pros sole argument is that in chess you have to think about the other persons move as well as your own, but that is the same in almost every board game. Therefore pro completely fails to meet his BOP.
