I found this article discussing if a monkey could play chess? Its quite an interesting read and prompted me to make my profile image. Interesting read in my opinion. http://tartajubow.blogspot.com/2019/10/could-monkey-play-chess.html

Someone tell the article author.

Yes monkeys have tails. A chimpanzee is an ape. Common folk misunderstanding.

Anyway yes I believe you could at least teach a gorilla how the pieces move.

Dolphins, too. But you'd have to separate one from the pod and that's too stressful.
