One Pocket has often been described as like chess on a pool table, and indeed chess does seem to be a popular pastime among some One Pocket players -- Efren for example:
Efren and Corey take a break from pool to play a little chess at the DCC last January. And I swear I overheard Corey hit Efren up for a spot of one rook as they headed for a place to set up the board
When I was at Hard Times Sacramento for their Summer Jamboree I got this photo of Santos also enjoying a Chess break from the pool action:
It's been a while since I played much chess, but it certainly is a game I have enjoyed in the past, and if I had more free time might take up again. IMO, the strategy aspect of chess goes way beyond the strategy of One Pocket, but none-the-less One Pocket does share the head-to-head combat of move and countermove that characterize chess much more than most pool games.
Does chess sharpen your One pocket game?
Does One Pocket sharpen your chess game?
How many of you One Pocket fans also do play chess?
