what kind of figure do you consider yourself to be?

If you compare poker with playing chess, then what kind of figure do you consider yourself to be?

For example, I consider myself a pawn!

in terms of the strength of the pieces I am far from a pawn but also far from a king I think that in terms of the level of the pieces I would compare my level of play with a knight or Bishop.

Im the Knight. Poker feels like 3 steps forward and one step back or vice versa.

When I first read the OP post, initial thought was a Knight. This member nailed my thoughts on why.

Great question, never seen this ask before.

I think that most likely I'm a pawn

Are knight and bishop equal pieces in chess?

I think in poker you have to be a queen, the strongest chess piece, otherwise you won't be able to win.

Congratulations on posing a fun and insightful question for us to answer! I know that I am not a pawn because I can vary my movements depending upon the situation. Maybe the queen? I don't think so because I'm not usually, if ever, the most powerful player on the board. Maybe the king because you must beat me in order for you to win? Probably not because the king is a pretty passive piece and I am an aggressive player, so that leaves the bishop, knight, and rook (castle). I'm not flashy like the knight who makes fancy hook shots to defeat it's opponent. The bishop can cover the board diagonally, while the rook covers it in straight line either forward or sideways. So which of those am I? Do I attack my opponents head on like the rook, or do I flank them like the bishop? I am definitely the rook.

According to this they boil down to being pretty much even, with maybe a very slight edge overall to the bishop.

I can't find a comparison between the two games.

I like to move horizontally or vertically so I'm a Rook

2nd queen

Well first rule of poker is the only way you can lose is if you beat yourself, or let yourself get beat. Good luck on the tables everyone and as always have fun

Iam I wise, or am I ignorant for thinking so? They say if you are a wise man you woul

If you are a wise man you would understand but an understanding you would know that you were not a wise man good luck on the tables everyone and as always have fun

I am the chessboard you play on, I know everything that moves on it !!! )

I am closer to a pawn that can checkmate the king.

Neither do I, maybe it's because I'm not a chess expert I only know the basics but I don't see any relationship between poker and chess

At the moment a pawn hahaha the lowest category

Everyone should take into account that a pawn is the only piece this, reaching the end, can become equal to the queen, hence the conclusion that this is not a weak piece - the main thing is to be able to use it!

I figure I'm an outstanding figure

I'm the best I can be good luck on the tables everyone, and as always have fun

Hello. I am any piece that can go anywhere on the board. That's, alright. Crazy, huh?

I think i am pawn,but pawn can became equal to Queen

The king - slow and passive in the early stages of the game but, if I stay alive for long enough, gaining more and more importance towards its end.

A stranger on earth (a human being). I need clothes, coats, heaters, fans... to live well. The animals of the earth do not need these things or businesses. You know, they are the original inhabitants.

I am the sacrificial pawn.........

Mmm, this is (with poker) my best hobby curently.... I do play a lot but never did this... so...
I thank I'm a Rook... Because when I was little I was always trying to get them early out so I can just clear the board with them... useless strategy !
Today I rarely touch the rooks until mid game (except castling) because when I start to develop rooks, means all my other weapons are in position or failed to execute their commands...
With that said, rook is transforming from slow heavy figure to big strong one...
Woaw, nicely said !


But we are all kings, wanted or not....
