Message: [QUOTE="sumdumguy, post: 6712809, member: 1003793"] I have been a chess player since I was 12 years old, I have been regional champion in my country in 98 and I can tell you with certainty that they are different and the same games, different because poker is half luck and half strategy and in chess it is a strategy of movements and openings. The same because you have to analyze your rival, how you play poker, know more or less the range of hands you bet with, in chess what opening your opponent is familiar with and how you can refute that opening. In the end, both are games of reasoning, poker is its odds, outs, equity... Chess open openings, closed openings, half games and finals. In poker there are 52 cards, in chess you have to think of at least 15 variants of each move before doing it (Kasparov thought 42 moves forward, Raul Capablanca 1 and said it was the winning move hahahaha)... and Yes, chess can drive people crazy too:Roflmao: but I love it!
