Many chess programmers also play chess in tournaments(I am one of them and I am not the best one inspite of the fact that I am better than most of the chess players(my rating is near 2000 in the last year and I play a lot of blitz games in the chessbase server(rating of almost 2000 there)). Chess is the only game that I know to play better than most of the chess players(statistics of the israeli players show that near 90% of the israeli players who play in tournaments have rating that is less than 2000 and I guess that the situation is similiar in the world) and it is a good reason to go for chess programming and not for another game.
