This is a poor analogy. In chess the major difficulty is the opponent, 
but there is no opponent
in programming. But pursuing it anyway, the rules and moves of chess are 
relatively
simple. One can easily learn and use them, however the rules and moves 
*could* be made so
complex that it would be almost impossible to play even against an easy 
opponent.
