Kind of a weird question I guess, but I wanted to know if I could somehow apply dialectical materialism to a game like Chess. Idk, it's Friday and I have brain space to think about these things.

In what sense? Chess has it's set of defined rules and turns so i don't see how you could "apply diamat". However it can help you getting better at chess or at anything really.

This is what I meant mostly but just scoped it to chess, CriticalResist already provided a really good answer to this.
