The Science of "Luck" in Chess

What to study

Curiosity Gap

Chess has no dice or cards, so luck in chess sounds wrong, and the quote marks say it isn't really luck. The glowing path through a tree of options suggests a lucky guess is one route among many. So what makes a player pick it?

How the packaging works
Title

'The Science of' promises a real explanation, and putting 'Luck' in quote marks tells chess players it may not be luck at all.

Thumbnail

With only a red LUCKY, a white GUESS and one green path lit through grey branches, your eye follows the glow, though nothing shows it's about chess.

Remix this

When your audience blames luck for a result that has a method, put their word for it in quote marks and draw the hidden choice as one lit path among many. Let the title name the field.
