How does mathematics help with chess ability?

Directly, I don't think it really does until you get all the way into game theory.

Indirectly, it helps in that exercising your mind in one way improves it for more tasks than just that, much in the same way that doing one kind of exercise will put you in better shape to perform others.

I don't even think game theory would be much help.

You're probably right. It's more just the only field that seems remotely plausible.
