Default Re: Chess vs Poker Online

The biggest problem I see is finding poor players willing to play for money at chess. There's just too many free places to play.

The "play money" games at a poker site can be annoying to the amateur player because he feels the players "aren't playing right". But even at a free online chess site a player will try his best to protect or increase his rating as a matter of pride.
