Chess is to pool as differential equations are to arithmetic.Chess is to pool as advanced real analysis is to arithmetic.
About how I see it. In a tactical exchange, chess generally requires you to think several steps ahead. It is rare that you need to think more than one step ahead in a tactical sequence in any pool game other than one pocket, the only pool game in which you try to gradually develop a winning position over many innings.Chess is to pool as differential equations are to arithmetic.
That is because when pool is played right, there is only 1 inning.About how I see it. In a tactical exchange, chess generally requires you to think several steps ahead.

This is also why Snooker is more popular than pool.
Very well said. Strategically, chess is probably one hundred times more complicated than pool (other than one pocket, which clearly has some chess-like elements in it). As you note, however, the act of executing a strategy, once devised, in chess involves no more than moving pieces. In pool, reaching a decision is quite simple, but executing the shot selected can be a great challenge.Pool has a lot of strategy but it doesn't inhibit execution. Chess is all strategy and no execution. Night and day.

Idealized sports (yes your reference to 1 inning is worth a cookie) means no rules are needed, people can just stick to one exercise.
The community that keeps specific cue sports disciplines alive are clearly demonstrating the sport has interest.
In terms of Chess VS Pool, chess clearly has a move and counter move system. Yes there are many counters, some prefer in 1 step others in more. Idealized pool is logical. However rational pool (human players) are logical in many ways. Instead of winning in fewer steps, players can develop strategies for winning with specific talents. Which is why pool has more variations than Snooker, making the pool the ultimate cue sport.
Spoke like a college professor with no life experence but being student.
Book smart life experience dumb.
Think both sports or game take different skills.
Games are different like Watermelons, and Asparagus.
Is telepathy cheating?In terms of simulating on a computer chess is pong and billiards is doom. Those are computer games with computer opponents.
In terms of rules and cheating. Catching a cheater in billiards is nearly impossible, but in chess is clearly obvious.
Both games have different mentalities.Think both sports or game take different skills.

Are they both using telepathy?Not cheating.Is telepathy cheating?
Does it matter? What about witchcraft?Are they both using telepathy?
This is why the rulebook is left open ended. Whoever wrote it clearly was unaware of these future conditions or chose not to address them. In either case its a sub optimal solution.Does it matter? What about witchcraft?
