To dismiss luck as irrelevant and declare poker purely a game of skill would be overstating the case. Both chance and skill are essential to the outcome of any game, including poker. While a more seasoned player has a statistical edge, the luck of the draw can always swing the game in another player's favour.
The analogy to chess is, well, not perfect. In a game of chess, all of your opponent's pieces and their prospective actions are completely visible to you, while in a game of poker, certain information is concealed from you. Because of this, bluffing becomes an essential part of the game of poker. Therefore, it is more of a subjective than objective comparison to say that poker is easier than chess.

Terminology matters in every field of life so getting acquainted with it would help ease some stress of communication and make one fast in adapting to the system in which they find themselves. You have done well OP and I will suggest you keep updating the list as time goes on because I believe there are more that are not yet on the list.
