Poe apparently knew how to play chess and didn't like the game so I think it's reasonable to conclude he was a non-chess player.
The best chess-player in Christendom may be little more than the best player of chess; but proficiency in whist implies capacity for success in all these more important undertakings where mind struggles with mind. EDGAR ALLAN POE
I hereby take occasion to assert that the higher powers of human intellect are more decidedly and more usefully tasked by the unostentations game of Draughts, than by all the elaborate frivolity of Chess. In the latter, where the pieces have different and bizarre motions, with various and variable values, what is only complex is mistaken (a not unusual error) for what is profound. EDGAR ALLAN POE
Life's too short for chess HENRY JAMES
Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their timeGeorge Bernard Shaw (Irish literary Critic, Playwright and Essayist. 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature, 1856-1950)
"A chess player is a brilliant mind spoilt moving front of wood pieces" - Albert Einstein, about Emmanuel Lasker who was besides his chess career a brilliant mathematician.

Oh, yes, that reminds me :
