It's totally different when you can plan for everything, like when things are deterministic like a game. In real life, when you need to constantly switch to new problems to solve, it gets really time consumming, and saps motivation.

One can't plan for anything; it's a player versus player game that requires constant responses to what the opponent is doing.

It's about as far-fetched as saying that one can plan a boxing match.

There is certainly less possibility of planning than cooking.
