Default Re: Chess vs. Poker trends in gaming theory

[ QUOTE ]
Does anyone here use chess gaming theory in poker? This especially goes for Tournament play, where you can not reload. In a nutshell, your objective in chess is to capture your opponents queen. In tournament poker your objective is to capture your opponents last chip. There are many similarities between both games that has no been discussed much. I am opening this thread for discussion.

I am closing this thread based on mind-numbing inaccuracy.

Chess is only about capturing your opponent's queen if you are both very, very bad.

Describing tournament poker as having an objective of capturing your opponent's last chip is leaving out almost all of the story.
