I like playng chess say if we organised a tournament here I would be champion and opponents should count a stalemate as a great result against me
That is one hell of an answer
I wouldn't mind playing against you, and putting your skills to the test What made you stop? I know that chess can be time consuming and not very beneficial, but being able to play it online, don't you feel the need to play it for fun, as a hobby of sorts?

Real "live" chess has some aspects of poker, BUT...
Chess is very much more complex than the highest levels of Poker, or any "random" game. Chess players use logic and make "plays/ moves" which are decided by the player ONLY, and not some "other" sort of device or person.
Certainly there are "variances" in ANY game a person plays, or participates in, but I could find several games of "chance" which are more comparable to poker...such as "swinging at a Pinata", "Pin the tail on the Donkey", Throwing darts while blind folded.
There is some "luck" in Chess, like when your opponent makes a silly mistake and you capitalize on it, but otherwise the game is based on Strategy, Skill and Intelligence...none of which are occurring in ANY "random card game". The "deal out" of the cards is basically 90% of the game.
If you're getting "dealt" great cards you have a MUCH better chance of winning and also if you "catch your card" on flops, no matter what you play, if you can catch ANY card which benefits you on the flop...well, once again, it came down to TOTAL LUCK on the "deal out", and TOTAL LUCK on the "flops"...so I don't know what else you would like to call that kind of a game?...UMMM, perhaps a game of "LUCK"?
I incorporate many aspects of chess into certain hobbies and sports...BUT, there isn't really any comparison to "online poker", or really ANY "random" card game where there are sooo many "variances" and such which cause unfair play and lopsided "deal outs"(Hot Seat in Poker).

I think Chess is one of the greatest games ever invented! I don't play as much as I used and need to get another set but I do play on my computer against the computer to try not to be as rusty. Usually once it gets warmer I can catch a game down the street from my job. They have Chess tables out there and anyone with a set can go set up and wait for an opponent!
A great game that builds skills that are transferrable to life!

I thought this was the most popular server. I like to play blitz, I like chess more than poker. But my successes in them are the same as in poker 0
