The Chess game is included with the rest of the games as part of the 
Full image... if you downloaded the final 3.6-5424-full release you 
already have the Full image.  If you have the slimmed-down "Basic" 
image (which 3.7alpha typically is), you will need to load the Games 
package from SqueakMap.

If you have the games loaded, you can play the chess game by opening 
the "new morph..."/"from alphabetical list" menu, and choosing 
ChessMorph.

You can look at the classes in the Morphic-Games-Chess category to see 
how it works.  The chess piece images are stored on the class side of 
ChessMorph.
