Default Re: chess or poker

it's strange that Bld would say this given that it is widely believed spatio-temporal reasoning is involved in almost all pattern recognition and proportional reasoning of the type typically used for tackling the intractable mathematical problems one encounters in poker, i.e. assigning an opponent a hand range and predicting the likelihood of future actions. that sort of thinking is distinct from dividing $463 by $222 or manipulating other clearly defined symbols (what we normally mean by 'mathematical reasoning').
