As in real life, chess in dreams is marked with black and white fields, but unlike a fair battle in the awaked state, chess in dreams can represent a battle between good and evil.
Playing chess in a dream

A dream wherein you observe a chess game symbolizes a warning not to meddle in the lives of people who don’t concern you.
