The 2 skill sets required for the games are different. Obviously, the skill vs luck factor has been brought up many times already. I am not sure which game requires more skill or is more difficult to master. However, I think to beat the best in chess is much harder than it is to beat the best in poker. If a winning chess player took on the best player in the world, the world champ would win virtually every time. However, if a mid stakes winning poker player took on the best player in the world, the middle of the road guy probably will take some games off the best player. That being said, I still don't know which game takes more skill. Nice topic.
