It is definitely complicated :)

But in chess, as it is today, the main preparation goes into memorizing opening
lines, and for the best players a lot of time is spent (I think) analysing with
computers to find new novelties to surprize their opponents with.

So in a way, some of the game, maybe even the critical part of the game, does
not take place at the board, but at home in preparation.

Who can honestly say they find that amusing?
