I wouldn't mind playing more chess.  I like chess but just haven't played it very often.

Over the years, I've enjoyed playing FreeCell solitaire (card game), and I feel like that game requires a little bit of the same ability and strategy to look ahead to see what moves you can/should do in order to win.  I think the same type of thinking is required for chess, to look ahead to see how the game might go and what moves you can do against your opponent to come up with a strategy to win.
