When I play a game, I sometimes try to decide how much of my thinking process matches what "the real person who I am replacing" would think. Am I in their shoes at all? Even in Twilight Struggle--a very abstract game--I find this to be very substantial. I feel the brinksmanship at every moment, even though the game doesn't simulate the unknown passage of historical events at all really. It puts me in the state of mind that meshes with my impression of the subject matter.
When I play Go or Chess or Shogi, I am just using intuition and calculation to execute moves and placements to capture, kill, surround, etc. It doesn't feel like a "battle" for me in the sense of war (even though those words sound warlike), just an intellectual challenge against the human across from me.
