Probably similar to your wordle at the moment.
Chess here helps to get out of my task, get beat / learn something and then hope back into commanding my own destiny as best as possible in similar battles.
So chess is but perhaps battle orientated which is often related to things you mention or what we are dealing with, though this was for the mindset and sudden change into something else to inversely comes back more focussed.

This *might* mean you feel you are not good since often regular chess players can accept it's too deep and to play to find new ways etc (it's not about winning).
So as games go it cam be throw-away / time killer / not the deep kind of chess that many consider it - it's more like chopping a tree and knowing tree is not going to fall but serving it's purpose in the doing / practise...
