Umineko doesn't really revolve around chess, but there is a turning chessboard during the closing credits. (And another one is briefly shown during the opening credits)

Hikaru No Go is about a different board game, but fits pretty much your description, just with a different game.

Soul Hunter (Houshin Engi) has a scene with a virtual chess board. They're discussing strategy and suddenly the little chess pieces are jumbo sized and kind a cool looking.

Some animes that have a lot of chess scenes and with Chess themes (as like a metaphor for the plot) that come to mind are: Kuroshitusji, Vampire Knight, and to some extent Pandora Hearts.

You can see a bit of the chess theme in the first Vampire Knight OP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGjksV95o30
I couldn't find the Kuroshitsuhi OP, but this series has the most chess references and theme that I can think of. There's some chess stuff is in this video.

No mention of Cowboy Bebop's episode all about chess? For shame.

Aside from that, there's some chess in Stellvia and Yugioh.

Code Geass

There is one sequence of episodes when some dude (who can read your mind) challenges another dude (that can control your mind) to a game of chess.

Whoever wins gets to kill the other dude and take the girl whose life literally hangs in the balance, meaning, there is a scale that holds the captured pieces and it is rigged to a bomb underneath the unconscious girl hanging on a wall. This is probably the most interesting, pulse-pounding chess game I have ever seen.
Almost as hard as fighting a Holy Paladin.

I am not quite sure which episodes but 'Last Exile' has some chess scenes in it, not to mention that all the episodes are named after a chess move. One of the characters, Dio I think, is always seen fiddling with a chess piece for most of the time when he is not piloting a Vanship.
I do all the right things for all the wrong reasons.

I know of this anime that revolves around a virtual game of chess that spawns giant chess robots in real life that kill people. It's sort of like gamer but more like tron in the virtual segments, and it's not teens playing it but kids. It's sort of like bokurano, but with chess and the robots use the planet as their board sort of like in risk, so it's kind of interesting as they mingle with countries' territories and how countries respond, by either attacking or defending. I wish I remembered the name.
