Re: Poker V Chess
This is too interesting subject, that I've thought about too much to let you go that easy. I've, well, kind of read, that when you are not very experienced in chess, it's very good mental exercise (FU firefox spell checker, talking about some brain scan activity monitor readings or bs like that), but when you are adept, it's much more about automated moves. So as a mental practice GO should be much better at advanced level.
Anyway, poker requires many, many abilities very much different to chess, so most good chess players wouldn't probably excel in poker, but what would I know... So I welcome them etc... Some of them will probably do fine in this other form of waste of time.
