When you play chess. You assume the opposition to be intelligent, in that assumption you can guess their moves as a reaction to your moves, and make a foolproof strategy. But when the opposition is dumb and unpredictable. You are blind. That’s a bad state to be in. Applicable in career, life etc.

The general sentiment might apply in life but as for chess it doesn’t make much sense. “Dumb and unpredictable” moves will be objectively worse and therefore easier — not harder — to play against.

There may be edge cases — like if you must make a bunch of moves with only a few seconds — but usually you’re not crafting “foolproof strategies” and instead just try to make the objectively best, or practically most challenging, moves. Foolish moves, even if not predicted, make the opponent’s task easier.
