Luck doesn't play a factor in chess, at all. Life and human error play a factor when it comes to things outside chess. If your opponent gets struck by a meteor during a chess game, that could be considered 'luck'. If your opponent, misclicks, that's Human error. if your opponent miscalculates because their mind is wandering, that's human error. There is zero luck in chess. It's human nature that gets us.
misclicking is luck.
A lot of people here are choosing very convoluted examples of luck, such as opponent missing time control, having a bad sleep etc but what about the most practical example of luck which is when players fail to calculate a given line accurately/miss several variations but still end up choosing the right move? What if faced with a defensive task you have to chose between Kh8 and Kf8, and with no idea which is best you guess and pick the winning line over the losing line?
I myself have being benefitted and lost games many times from positions I was not sure how to evaluate. I think there is a luck element in Chess that you can enter into the unknown but still come out on top.
