Re: USA Today skill vs luck
[ QUOTE ]
There is a luck component in poker.. So in legalistic terms - it is a game of chance ... thats why its called 'gambling'
Chess is a pure game of skill..

Even chess has aspects of luck in it. If you find a player who is only slightly worse than you he will still be able to beat you sometimes.
The same applies to people who don't allow "luck" shots in billiards. If you make a shot 95% of the time then you are still relying on luck to some extent.
