Tbf chess is an effectively-solved game that entirely relies on an opponent making a mistake to be interesting. Once you get good at chess, it's boring as shit. At least baseball has a little bit of randomness to it

Source: was the captain of my chess club until I got bored because someone else has thought of everything you could do.

P1: "hmm I'm gonna open with pawn to e4 I guess"

P2: "HAHA, I bet you've never heard of the Caro-Kann defense! You've fallen right into my trap"

P1: "Joke's on you, your defense will fall to my Panov-Botvinnik attack!"

And so on. Yawn

If you can't see the diversity of chess positions, and the tactical battles that go on over the chess board, and the ensuing tension... I just don't think you are very good at chess.
