- the game is more analytical and requires more complex thought

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think analytical thought and complex mean the same. I think strategic thought and global vision are really the top position of the human thought possibilities.

The question would be, a chess player can really master chess through analytical thought only, like computers? I doubt it, I'm sure he will need to be a great strategist to really master the game.

So, both poker and chess will need the same kind of bright person to really get to master them.

And, so I think, will need all the things in life who are complex enough.

And so it has been proved once and again, as great chess players became great poker players.
