The exercise of the mind in Chess applied in Poker

I recommend all poker players, from beginners to the most experienced, to practice this excellent exercise of the mind which is Chess.
I have learned and practiced this sport of the mind for over 40 years.
In a few years that I knew Poker, Chess helps me a lot, especially when I feel little concentration.
I just need to play a few games of Chess online and my focus and concentration improves a lot.
I recommend everyone to look for the FIDE - International Chess Federation website and register. There are free levels.

It would also be very important as a suggestion, CardsChat itself to open more spaces for Chess.
This would also encourage Poker Rooms to include Chess as well by linking their players to participate in both (Poker and Chess).

I don't know how to play chess, although I tried to learn it once. However, I believe that you are absolutely right. Chess is a game of the mind. You think a few moves ahead to beat your opponent.

It helps a lot, mainly in the mentality, which is the most important thing in poker, too. Both chess and poker have many similarities. In both things, the concentration and taking the right decision are the way of the success.

I have played chess before. Not the best game for me only because my queen and king get squashed. I do believe it is a good game to practice planning, thinking ahead and anticipating your opponents moves.

If you don't study Chess & study your games just as in Poker you'll stop playing when you keep losing & with no Chess there's no rabbit in the hat it's NO VASELINE
