I feel the other way: Poker is boring to watch, too much luck/randomness when watching. Fun to play, though.
I'm not really a chess player, but I've watched all the matches this Championship, and all my friends (not chessplayers as well) are watching. It helps that we are Norwegian, though. And that may be the point: A western player will bring back the popularity in the west.
- jonathansizz 13y agoIf you're thinking of tournament poker, than I can see what you're saying. Try watching some deep-stacked cash games sometime though; this is the most high-level and interesting poker to watch (and also the most instructive).
- dfrey 13y agoI agree that poker has too much randomness, but I don't think that games with zero randomness (like chess) are ideal for spectator events.
