2 simultaneous games of chess.

first choice: Gruyère soup and grilled wild sturgeon with herbs.

second choice: Arkanoid with five pitchers of draft beer and a few pretty birds to play and drink with.

might work well with golf. there are many similarities between the games, including that you have time to contemplate your next move; and position is important. Strategy. with golf you have to execute physically. both are very mental, require intense focus; also, people not athletic enough to play sports (like me) can play chess, and golf requires less athleticism than most sports.

True - I like golf too. Cool

You could always have a mini-golf version for the kids. Wink

I play chess at chess.com while using a step machine at my gym for the hour I am on the machine, as I am doing as I type 😎

Definitely football, soccer. Positional superiorities, tactics, lecture of the position, weak squares, diagonals. It suits very well strategically

I believe many strong chess players also are decent at things like poker and other casino card games.

Jujutsu, especially grappling.  It requires patience, persistence, positional anaylsis, skill, courage, and sometimes a little recklessness.
