Yes, there's luck in life.... in humans....
But there's no luck in the RULES of chess
other games are lucky by definition (luck is an essential part of their rules or scope)
chess by definition includes NO luck, if luck has effect on a chess game it's from outside of the game, not from inside factors
i consider a human player an outside factor... like an alien playing chess would be an outside factor... chess would still be the same, but the alien might have different reactions and "luck" than the human...
is that simple enough?
Yes, though I prefer to state it like this... There is no luck in chess theoretically; practically, there is.
