There are times when you get just one player to participate to your game night. You would still like to keep the game night. Then you just have to find a suitable two player game, that's all. Some of the two player games are so great that you don't even notice that the amount of participants is just two. As a matter fact you'll not see anything else than the game. Provided that it's good enough. In our game club we have sometimes heavy sundays, when we play just heavy games. It can be quite difficult to get players to these brain burning festivals. So that we'd need also heavy games that can be played with just two players for these. The game should last atleast two hours.
Please feel free to add any suggestions to the list! Your help is appreciated. These will be the games that we acquire for the club. Thank you for your help!

I keep wanting to put together a Geeklist of all the games that star the Finns or take place in Finland. I really need to get that going!
Go is heavy in depth, strategy and usage of neurons.
Go is not heavy in rules. Go can also be played fairly fast (45 minutes gameif you play fast)so it is not necessarily heavy in game length (though a game can last several hours).
But, historically, what makes Go deep is what has been added (board size increased) not what was removed. In fact the apperently official(?) Japanese rules listed here on BGG (http://files.boardgamegeek.com/geekfile_view.php?fileid=4615) imply that the board size will continue to increase as players desire more complexity.
