hehe, ok, now we are getting into it
Actually, those two games can not be compared.
Usually sudoku games are created to have only one possible solution. You could design them to be more difficult with several solutions. But that would make it hard for the user, because he would come to a point in the game, where he has to "guess" a number for a field. I have yet to come across one of those. Until now i could solve every sudoku by just following plain logic without ever having more than one solution or even come across a dividing path while solving of which one would prove not solveable.
It is for that an "easy" problem and can easily be solved by a computer in milliseconds.
chess on the other hand is a multiplayer game, which offers a totally different level of difficulty. You simply can not calculate all possible moves and choose the best one there is in a reasonalbel amount of time. Thats why computers still loose against human beeings.
There is a whole reasearch field about game theory and multiplayer game theory.
Getting into that, that is high level logic, reasoning and calculation
Math at its best.
