Does anyone here play/excel in other games besides poker??

[ELHOMBRENARANJA]

I was just wondering if any skills from those games transferred over. I don't know much about chess. I used to play Scrabble a lot and had memorized how many of each letter there was and would subtract those already on the board/in my rack. Other than that, I can't think of any other skills that would transfer over.

I used to be a reasonable chess player, played for my school team a couple of times, but I no longer enjoy chess, poker has replaced it for me.
