Chess is completely orderly. In chess, you don't have to deal with unknown unknowns, or pieces getting moved around by chance, or your opponent inventing new pieces in the middle of the game, etc. Just because you can execute extremely complicated plans in chess doesn't mean that the plausibility transfers to real life.
