Default Re: Irrespective of Mr. Sklansky\'s attitude, his key point is correct:

[ QUOTE ]

However, the difference between the greatest chess player and the median chess player is far, far greater in terms of SD than the difference between the greatest poker player and the median poker player.

In otherwords, whereever I rank on the poker continuum, call it the Xth percentile.. the difference between the Xth percentile player and the world's greatest in poker is far lesser than the difference between the Xth percentile player and the world's greatest chess player, measured in terms of SD.

I hope that makes sense, because I know full well the idea I'm trying to say.

[/ QUOTE ]

The difference between the best chess player and the 100th best player is greater the the difference between the best poker player and a marginal loser.
