Try Bridge. It's more of a challenge since every hand is different. LINK

To answer your original question, i have a nice pair of binoculars hanging in my closet that I bought 20 years ago and have never used.

I played a lot of bridge in my younger days.  

The reason I prefer chess is that there is no element of chance, plus, you are on your own, you don't have to worry about letting down your partner.  And you can play it on the internet.  You don't need to join a bridge club or rustle up some players.  Chess can be such a beautiful thing when all your pieces are coordinated, and everything just works, and your opponent has no answer for any move you make.
