Sure, it's just most games don't have literally centuries of established strategy and meta. Like modern games are kind of a "the general level of skill is so high that this is getting unapproachable" after 5 or so years, where 1,000 hours is still considered a new player. Chess is an order of magnitude beyond that, at least.
But then I have ADHD that manifests in a paradoxical "I have a compulsive need to learn things, but not about them; I have to devour systems and rules and comprehend them and once I do most of the joy is gone unless it's something truly special and even that has to be cycled through" that leaves little room for refinement or outside study of the sort that defines games like chess.
