Take a look, this strategy game is called Xianqi
You can still play Blitz matches, which take between 2-10minutes ;)
I love playing long games, like 3-4h for one game, but only in person, not online.
'Chinese Chess' definitely sounds interesting, I'll have to try it out

That's a point, but not completely true. Noobs make a lot of errors, intermediate players may miss some tactics or mates but really good players may miss a really complicated tactic or a mate in 10.
They'd never lose a game against me if I had two hours and they have 5 minutes, even if they wouldn't be able to think when my clock is ticking.
But I agree, if you want to play "pure" chess you have to play longer time controls
