Actually I think that in a chess match between masters other factors than straight Games(chess) might have a big effect. For "normal" GURPS games it is totally not interesting but for a campaign focussing on chess I really would include Will rolls, allow for Intimidation to some extent, maybe even split the game into 3 phases (start, midgame, endgame) and allow specializations/techniques for that.
