Learn to play Go, then even if your chess ability is lower, people won't be able to judge your Go ability.

Go is roughly a game based on encircling the other's army before his or her army encircles yours. A bit of thought about the meaning of the word 'encircle" should hint to how awesome that can be.

If your gaming heart has been more oriented towards WWII operational and strategic-level games, Go is the game for you. If chess incorporates the essence of WWI, Go is incorporates the essence of mobile warfare in WWII, if the part of the essence represented by Poker is removed.

Go=an abstraction of mobile warfare - Poker

Chess is battle, Go is war. I don't see how it's very much about mobility rather than scale.
