Poker or Chess?
Good afternoon everyone.
I really like to play chess, study openings and variants, I play chess every day, on the sites:
lichess
chess.com
chesstempo
The chesstempo, in my opinion is the best site to review matches of the best chess players in the world.
And on YouTube, Reydama channel, there are videos of the main matches, the championships and chess tournaments.
I love playing poker, in my opinion the main difference is that poker is much more exciting than chess, and the more exciting a sport is, the more popular it is, because of this there are many more poker players.
Regarding the complexity of the game, I believe they are the same.
Being in chess, player Magnus Carlsen is the best in the world.
Carlsen became the new world chess champion in 2013, beat Anand.
Magnus Carlsen retained the title of absolute world chess champion by defeating Indian Viswanathan Anand in 2014.
Magnus Carlsen once again held the title of absolute world chess champion by defeating Russian Sergey Karjakin in 2016.
Carlsen faced American Fabiano Caruana at the 2018 World Chess Championship in London, and retained the title.
In poker it is difficult to say who is number one.
Poker has a large number of excellent players:
André Akkari
Daniel Negreanu
Phil Ivey
Scott Seiver
Erik Seidel
Phil Hellmuth
Tom Dwan
And there are many other players.
