Chess and Go are some of the simplest board games there are. Board gamers would put them in the very low “weight” rankings from a rules complexity perspective (compared to ”modern” board games)!

Mathematics are infinitely (ha) more complex. Work your way up to understanding (at least partially) a proof of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and then you will agree! Apologies if you have done that already.

To some extent, mathematics is a bit like drunkards looking for a coin at night under a streetlight because that’s where the light is… there’s a whole lot more out there though (quote from a prof in undergrad)
