This is not necessarily true. I wrote a chess program (with a simple
search but a reasonable static evaluator) in two weeks. If you are 
willing to just write a program to prove yourself that you could 
write a chess program, you can do that in 2 weeks. However, if you 
would like to build all the rules of tournament chess, game libraries, 
end gaming, etc., you need a lot more time, but not necessarily years...
