Default Combat by Chess

I don't know how interesting this is going to be as a topic. But suppose two masters have a combat by champion over a chessboard with a suitable wager-the life or death of a princess, the fate of a kingdom whatever. The board and pieces have an ancient and interesting history of course. Perhaps Fu Manchu took them captive and will release them if they win. This of course can be done with any game with suitable charisma: Go for instance(which would go well with Fu Manchu).

But anyway, imagine playing this out on Gurps. How would one do it?
