Nobody knows if chess is a forced win for white, or even a forced draw for white.
If it is a forced win, then white with optimal gameplay will always win. If it is a forced draw, then white with optimal gameplay will always at least draw, and may win if black doesn't play perfectly. If it is neither a forced win nor a forced draw, then white with optimal gameplay will lose unless black makes a mistake.
If both white and black examine the complete game tree and always play optimally, then the outcome will always be the same (but we don't know if it will be white win, draw, or black win).
And I don't care what you call a good answer. The answer to your question is quite trivial, nothing deep to see here or required.
