my father is a chess composer, who since childhood began to play chess in his free time and devoted almost his entire life to this, for him it is his hobby - studying chess problems participates in various competitions, has certificates and medals participated in the Russian championship as a member of a team
I can't say right away that poker or chess is more difficult, but I will only say one thing: a person who knows how to play chess will find it easier to learn to play poker because of mathematical thinking, but a person who plays poker, I think, will learn to play chess will be more difficult and rest will take much longer, therefore, in my opinion, chess is more difficult than poker.
