and besides that, it's pointless to compare turn-based with non-turn-based 
games :)

ok... lets give it a try anyway

With chess you need:  brains, the ability to predict the opponents moves and 
creativity (aka not being predictable)
With starcraft you need: all those things combined with speed and good 
eye-hand coordination (and memorize all shortcuts) :P

(I've played chess since my early childhood and it never gets boring... same 
with starcraft, as long as you have equally skilled opponents)
