Not sure why people keep asking this question, is Hockey harder then Baseball, is Soccer harder than Rugby. Serious why, they are all sports that are meant to be enjoyed weather you play or just watch. Hell is my Girlfriend better looking than yours, ok only one answer there. The point is the same, why ask the question.
for me chees is harder than poker. But it depends are you playing poker live in a room where you can se everyone and their facial expresissions. For me easyer to play it live jist because i can see people but in my contry we has only 2 or 3 legal poker rooms so i play on line or at home with friends. chess is a mistery to me my partner is an expert about it and so he is an expert about poker he is better rhan me i admit. 😀
For me chess is harder i personali hate it. i lobe playing poker live but in my contry we has only 2 or 3 legal poker live rooms. So i mostly play on line. bit my partner is a pro for chess and poker he jad learned me a lot. I admit it! 😊
Good morning everyone, this comparison between chess and poker is very good.
In my opinion poker is a much easier game than chess, I see players from teams that play poker in 3 years playing for the team is already making $131,000 this year alone.
How long does a chess player need to study to reach a level that can earn this amount in 1 year?
There is a player named Nelepo10, who won more than $500,000 dollars in 2021, this player says he studied until the 5th series, here in Brazil then comes the 6th, 7th, 8th series, then 3 more years high school and then college,
A chess player, to play at a level and live only on chess, needs to start playing from a very young age, in addition, it is necessary to have the gift, it is not enough just to study.
In poker if you study for 1 year you will already acquire knowledge to beat the micro limits and depending on the number of Mtts you play per month it is possible to earn more than $1000 dollars per month.
To earn $1000 dollars by playing chess, you will need many years of study, for these reasons that in my opinion playing poker is much easier than chess.
There's a player who won $1,192,802.46 doleres by the name of "AAAArthur" because he won the pokerstars birthday Sunday Million, a player who played Mtts micros and won a satellite ticket.
In chess this will never happen if you look at the ranking always the best players always win and when a player wins a chess tournament even though he is not famous it is a player I have been with for many years.

No, I think chess i harder as you can prepare by learning openings etc. But because your opponents do that you have to lear , too. In poker you have the factor of luck. That makes it easier to win occasionally even when being a bad player. On the other hand it makes it more frustrating to loose when you have played well, though.
I agree with you chess is almost 100% mental in the sense that in the slightest carelessness you lose track of movements, poker is strict in the game, you have to know how to read the flops, interpret the cards, be psychic and of course have patience and luck is my opinionjive2day said:
Speaking as a former chess player, FIDE rating 2032 if I recall, at chess the best player almost always wins. True, you can get lucky and your opponent cam blunder, especially in time trouble, but there is no getting outdrawn by garbage. A lot of chess players migrate to poker. That was my big mistake forty plus years ago.jive2day said:
Well, in my opinion, both sports have their difficulties, I think they belong to the same category as a mental sport, but like soccer and basketball, the only thing they have in common is the ball, that is to say that both sports can be compared, in the same way the difficulty of both depends on both the rival and the knowledge you have of the game, the more knowledge you have the more difficulty
even though there are similarities in the games that both are requiring strategy for example . i still dont think they are comparable . simply because they are different games with different rules etc.
also in chess there is no luck factor while in poker there is (at least short term)
can you say that good chess players will often make good poker players ? possibly

For me one is a game of chance and the other strategy game is not the same thing, but if you want to compare them, poker is more complex since chess is like an exact science, there are always plays that you can draw from a book as a mathematical formula like that That poker is more difficult because if the diler doesn't want you you lose😱
Chess and poker are fundamentally different and often require players to have completely different skills, so it is impossible to say where to play more difficult. In my opinion, the obvious difference between the two games is that good chess always rewards you: if you are stronger than your opponent, you beat them, and if you lose, you should only blame yourself. In poker, the loser is not always to blame; sometimes it's a coincidence.
