I think of chess as a game that teaches you about sacrifice in order to win which is a lesson for generals, but it’s not really a wargame…

However… it could be considered a skirmish game as it’s about moving individuals rather than units and although some pieces are more mobile than others, a single blow can eliminate any piece.

I used to play chess a lot as a teenager when I didn’t have much money. Chess and cards. I’m rusty on chess and when I try playing a computer I tend to lose because I’m out of the habit of playing it.
