Chess is a beautiful game, but poker is much more lucrative. A lot of professional chess players have switched to playing poker because of the money.
One bad thing about chess is that computers are way better than humans, so no matter how good you get, you'll still suck compared to the computers.
The book that helped me most with learning chess is "My System" by Aron Nimzowitsch.

- ca98am79 17y agoAs I said, chess is a beautiful game - but I can totally understand why players are deciding not to devote their life to the study of the game, when computers are much better. I think instead of your running analogy, it is more similar to devoting your life to the study of tic-tac-toe. Or even checkers, which computers have already solved.
