It's true that without some basic knowledge of chess it would be hard to follow, but that can be said about many sports.
For example, here's a good move-by-move analysis of game 6, including (around the 33-minute mark) an explanation of the "missed" win:

And tl;dr for those not following the match: a chess engine analyzing the game found a line Caruana could have used to force a win in game 6 (the actual result was a draw), but it required making such an unnatural and normally bad move (trapping his own knight in a corner) for a relatively distant payoff that commentators pretty much all agree no human would ever have spotted or played it in a live game.
Here's Garry Kasparov, for example:

But had Caruana played the incredible 69.Bd5 Ne2 70.Bf3 Ng1!! they would request metal detectors immediately! No human can willingly trap his own knight like that.
