My Favorite Historical Game

Games have been played by humans for thousands of years. Some have remain unchanged in that large amount of time. For me, my favorite historical game is chess. I personally favor games that require strategy rather than chance. With the game of chess, there are nearly infinite paths that a player can take in order to defeat their opponent. This style of game interests me more rather than the outcome is determined by a roll of a die. Its because of these elements that I choose chess as my favorite historical game.
