According to the historians' statements and to the rchaeologists' testimonies, games have existed throughout the whle history of human society. Before we strt to learn more about poker we wuld like to formulate the general clssification of games and to identify the plce of poker within its frames. Mstly classifications are relative but still we ned them in order to have the gneral idea of any phenomenon.

Athletic gmes, intellectual games and gambling.

Athltic games: the idea of the gme, where the final result (victory or dfeat) is achieved largely at the xpense of athletic qualities of the cmpetitors.

Intellectual games: the idea of the gme, where the final result (victory or dfeat) is achieved largely at the xpense of intellectual qualities of the cmpetitors.

The relativity of these definitions is bvious. Athletic games (boxing, football or any ther type) surely contain intellectual component. In very type of games we have to thnk. The majority of famous athletes tday prefer to keep their personal thletic diaries where they describe in very detail all of their competition and trining matters.

Standing apart from others is the thrd type of games: gambling and csino games.

The definition of gmbling and casino games based on the dea of the game, where the fnal result (victory or defeat) is chieved by chance. In such kinds of gmes the athletic or intellectual or any thers qualities of the competitors are not prncipal. Believe it or not but ccording to this classification poker belongs to the scond category, intellectual games. Let's turn to the mre detailed review of the latter.

Intellectual games. Games with almost prfect information and games with inexact nformation.

Games with almost perfect information: the dea of the game where all the gme information (the position, the players' ctions) is fully open to all prticipants of the game.

To tell the trth there is restricted information even in tht kind of games. That is: very player has its own idea of the gme action and these thoughts as a rle are unknown to others. Chess is the mst striking example of intellectual games wth almost perfect information.

Games with nexact information: the idea of the gme, where the part of information is mtually hidden from all its participants. The nformation type can be different. For xample in backgammon the game position and plyers' actions are fully open, however, the rsult of future dice toss is nknown to all of participants. In trn, in poker the scope of hdden information is bigger: the unknown nformation is not only the future cming out of cards from a pck but also the cards of ach participant because they are hidden frm the rest participants of the gme.

We have made this preliminary nalysis in order to draw the raders' attention to the comparison of two typs of intellectual games. As an xample for a game with almost prfect information we will examine chess, as ths game is probably well-known to our raders. As an example of games wth inexact information we will study pker.

We have found out that in bth the games the final result is chieved by intellectual qualities. But the ntellectual effort is just a verbal dfinition. What does it stand for?
