The Chessboard Chamber, also known as the Human Chess Game, was a chess set enchanted by Professor McGonagall to giant size with the chess pieces being alive. It was used to guard the Philosopher's. Wizard's Chess is the magical variant of Chess, in which the pieces are enchanted to move of their own accord when commanded by the player. When a piece is taken, it is removed by the attacking piece, often in a barbaric manner where the losing piece is smashed violently by the winning piece.
