I don't really agree. When you have skilled players it comes down to diplomacy, which can make the game pretty damn complex. To mention just one thing, you often have to figure out how to economically place your forces when the balance of power is unclear and you're not sure who's friend or foe. IMO even one unskilled player makes the game unsatisfying since he usually ruins it. Most of the time it's someone who's easily manipulated.
True that, or when someone runs out of patience.
My friends and me often do this on a thursday night after our afternoon social drink event ("borrel"). But then we want to go out to town and we kinda need to rush the game.

Shogi is a great game, when you capture a piece it becomes yours and you can drop it on the board on your side as a move, but it's not easy to find opponents.
Indeed. I keep trying to add a Shogi section to my Chess tournaments in Michigan, but I can't rustle up playes. Chess960 and Xiangqi are other variants that have attracted marginal interest. The truth is I would hold a tournament in any abstract strategy game if I could find six players that were interested.
If anyone lives near Detroit, and has interest in games other than Chess, here's some information: http://gamesinmichigan.com/chessforcharity/chess960.htm.
As for my favorite game other than Chess? Too hard to decide. Lately, I'll play almost any abstract strategy game, and my favorite is whatever I happen to be playing at the time. However, if someone starts up a game of Cosmic Encounter near me, I might just drop everything to go play.
Stratego. Old, I know, but so am I.
I just love stratego! I'm currently introducing it to my kids so that it hopefully will live on for just another generation
