Default Re: chess or poker

As silly as this may sound, it is very true. the fact that one poker tournament would not define the best player in poker nearly as often as in chess does not necessarily speak to the amount of skill requires to reach a world class level.

Another way of looking at it would be to take a month's worth of cash game results in poker and use that as an equivalent sample as a single chess tournament.
