Wood is kind of pretty hard and the chain of the chainsaw is made of “blocks” I suppose, can’t really find out what it exactly is but anyway, to me, it seems like that chain would just get stuck in the wood at the very moment it touches it. Even more when cuting deeper into the tree.

A chainsaw is NOT made out of blocks. It is made of several sharp cutting teeth. Each of these teeth are “protected” by a secondary blunt tooth that pushes against the wood to make sure the cutting tooth does not try to bite… more than it can chew, by digging in too deep into the wood.
Finally the chainsaw can and definitely does jam all the time if you don’t throttle enough, push too hard against the wood or try to start while the saw is in contact with the wood (you have to let it run freely for a second before it catches enough speed not to jam).
