It seems some of the strongest players of all time stated that chess was
essentially a draw (Lasker, Capablanca etc.)   I think that among the strongest
players it's an accepted fact.  They could literally (barring the occasional
human error) draw every game.  But, lucky for us, their opponents either make a
mistake, or they themselves press in an attempt to win, introducing both winning
and losing chances.

But, as you seem to know better than the great champions, I'll leave you to
believe whatever you wish to believe.  :o)
