I am ranked #38 out of like 100,000 active Carcasonne players on Xbox Live though. I'm sitting at #12 on the weekly rankings right now. If you feel like some Carcasonne, I'll take your ass. I have like an 86% win record at that shit. lol. Pushing around a 68% record on 3-player Catan, which isn't too shabby, but there's no leaderboards for it ...
Don't have an XBOX, but I'll look into that game sounds interesting.. Also love anything strategy related. I'm sure I'll play bridge later on in life

And yeah chess is all about losing.. It's fun to wipe the board against someone a lot weaker than you, but you don't learn anything, it's just making the obvious move over and over again. Making a good player actually think is more rewarding, even if you lose.
