Chess Strategies vs. Poker strategies and computers

I just ran across this interesting article which compares the logical nature of chess strategies and chess tactics, to the emotional nature of poker strategies. They're matching up poker pros with computers to test it out. I tend to agree with the article here:

Chess is a game with perfect information. Poker is uncertain, incomplete and emotionally-driven.

This article is a great one, where Steve Lopez talks about how chessplayers choose their opening moves. Give it aread! he starts out talking about a technical questions about putting ECO into chessbase, but turns it into a larger question:

How do we decide what to play in the opening? I don't necessarily mean while we're at the board; what I really mean is "How do we decide on a repertoire and/or specific moves and variations therein?"

He comes up with 4 seperate methods... its a great read.
