Go and Civilization 3.
The only problem with Computer Go is that it can't be bruteforced as can chess be. But AI is getting better and better. Personally, as a fan of monte carlo based ray tracing, I would go with the monte carlo simulation.
Whats the best turn based strategy game ever?
1. Chess (Oldest Strategy Game known to man; invented the overall genre)
2. Risk (Inspired many games from the Wargame and Complex Turn-Based genre)
3. Checkers (Fun to play with family and a game you can practise for ages and still lose to people in the park)
4. Civilisation - The computer game (Revolutionised the whole Strategy genre with accessible and complex gameplay, which promoted its lifespan with the hardcore and regular gamers alike)
5. W40K: Chaos Gate (Got me into turn-based stategy in the "space-world" sense)
Pretty much nothing else after that.

ENNNH! Go beat it by 2 millennium, and is a vastly superior game.
All of the games suggested are good candidates though.
Isn't there a sticky post to answer this question...
Anyway, for me it is Civilization or maybe Alpha Centauri. You may also considering checking out Armageddon Empires as it introduces quite a few neat mechanics whilst being relatively low tech (it's an indie title than ended up being well recognised (I think PC gamer gave it like 95%).

What he said.
Seriously, any game without a Black Hole Generator feels like a letdown.
I loved the Fantasy/Panzer General series games except the 3d one. Played Civ alot, Master of magic and Master Orion series, if you like civilization type games.
