It's not necessarily an illusion. If chess is solved and it turns out white wins with perfect play, black's first move is zugzwang.

Source? Because I'm pretty sure it's not closed and Wikipedia seems to agree with me:

"No complete solution for chess in either of the two senses is known, nor is it expected that chess will be solved in the near future (if ever)".

If chess is solved and white wins, black is always in Zugzwang. We might not know.
