Ultimate Chess Mod brings the classic games of chess and checkers into your Minecraft world. You can craft your own game board and all the different pieces needed to play. The board squares and the game pieces can be colored with any dye, letting you set up teams with custom colors. To change a piece from a pawn into a king, queen, or rook, just use a stick. This also lets you switch to checker pieces for a different kind of game.
