Recently I read Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut. It contained a short story "All the King's Horses" about a chess game in which humans were used as pieces. I suppose the story was not based on any actual game, but I wish I could see what chess moves could fit in the story.

Maybe somebody tried to create a game or played a game fitting to that story?

Yes, I read it, but it was quite a while ago. It's also an interesting story as I remember.

I read this short story yesterday. It is a philosophical one that discuses the war and some important principles in life and uses chess as a mini-model of war. The point is that the  U.S army colonel is far more emotional when he loses part of his team (soldiers) on the chessboard than when he experience this loss on the battlefield. Moreover there is a cold war element implemented in it because even after the Asian totalitaristic leader is dead and the game was to be ended, the russian guy  wants to continue the game because the political circumstances  demand it
