Default Re: chess or poker

Without really being good at chess at all (or poker [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]), i would have to think it's chess. You can dictate the game more than with poker, as there are many moves that your opponent must have a direct and specifc response to, which top players are going to maniupulate. The same is true in poker, however, there is also more of a luck factor and it's a partical information game, whereas chess is not. For that primary reason, i would guess that the highest levels of chess require more skill.

Also Samo, wtf, you are a chess master, ex professional athlete, and poker master. WHERE ARE THE HOLES IN YOUR LIFE!?
