My take on Goedel's incompleteness theorems is that almost all
invocations of them are made by people who are ignorant of what they
mean.  For the record, they refer to the use of systems of deduction
to reason about themselves.  Since chess is not a system of deduction,
incompleteness is totally irrelevant.
