Choker – a game played on a mobile app that launched late last year – features the betting action of poker, but requires chess skills to win at showdown. Organizers invited eight players to participate, with the winner taking on Hikaru Nakamura chess Grandmaster and Choker ambassador, in a grand final.

Have to give my son this link. He has been playing a lot of chess here of late and likes poker. I'm going to hold off for Eucoker or better yet Cheuchre!

Well, now, isn't that an awesome idea! :)

Can we leave you in charge of the rules and details?

Very interesting link, thank you for sharing that.

During the quarantine, I have been playing more Chess than Poker. I'm an absolute beginner in Chess.

I wonder if in the far future people will continue playing Poker and these classic games or totally new games.

Just discovered this game last week. Cool concept but you definitely have to brush up on your chess skills to win! I was thinking to myself I wonder if we will ever see this game in a casino lol I doubt it but hey you never know.

If anyone is interested in playing add me username: Sdub2020
