Truncev compares poker to chess, noting that amateurs have learned basic strategies but lack deeper understanding. He recalls a time when players had to manually calculate moves, but now software tools have made it easier for amateurs to improve their skills. Despite this, becoming a professional player still requires a deep understanding of the game's nuances.
