Chess is not a game.

Dota and Poker are games where there is a combination of raw strategy (like in chess) and guesswork (what will my teammates do, what will the enemy do how should i best counterbuild them etc for Dota and in poker it's how to I adapt to their style?)

Tournaments are even less chess-like as the ending of a tournament is a totally different game itself to early-tournament poker and cash game poker and when it hits final 3 or headsup, the game is literally not at all strategic but instead TACTICAL ONLY and it is this that makes Dota and Poker different to chess, that at the very top level or ending of a big match, there is such high brutal variance/luck that the game becomes pure tactics and chaos rather than definite-optimal methods of play AKA strategy.

If you spend enough time studying chess and have the actual memory capacity for it, you will never ever lose. This is actually the reason why you will never ever see top chess players go against each other and win, it ALWAYS ends in stalemate because at the top level of chess you have players who simply cannot physically lose due to the combinations of moves they do based on their studying of invincible strategies (which do absolutely exist in chess it's just that the next invincible move changes based on the move the opponent makes this doesn't mean there is randomness though).
