You are indeed a master chess player! Your nihilistic mathematical intuition has put its finger on a philosophical conundrum that has beguiled philosophers for centuries. Congratulations--you have solved it! You have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no possible way of ever proving anything! Mathematics will never be the same again. An exception to all 'proofs' may lurk somewhere out there, deep in the heart of a black hole or in a galaxy far, far away. And the really scary thing, there may be more than one exception per proof. We'll just never know, will we. :)
