In chess you can literally see and predict every single move that your opponent can make. Unless you play by the ''all open'' rule, this is not the case in TT. A large part of being able to defeat the harder NPCs is memorizing what cards they have available, and what stats are on them.

In addition, both sides are equal (apart from first move), in chess. Whereas in TT both sides have wildly different moves at their disposal.
