I strongly believe some people are inherently good at chess but no one is inherently bad. If you're interested enough to comment this, play one 5-minute game a day on lichess. Start with the lowest setting but do it every day, maybe in the morning with coffee. You might not win a single game the first year but slowly you'll improve. When you're winning more, move up a level. Sometimes do the puzzles. Give it five years and you'll be able to beat almost anyone you meet and, better yet, you'll know the answer to your question based on your own experience.
You know what? I'll take you up on the offer. I have a complimentary chess dot com account with my revolut ultra, might as well use it. Every day a toilet break chess and see you in five years!
I think by virtue of being the kind of person who comes to Hacker News, and perhaps socializes with similar people, you are not "sufficiently" exposed to people who are simply incapable of logical thinking, or are unwilling to apply their minds in that way.
