Well, there are lots of chess set designs that resemble other games, for instance the Fantasy set resembles D&D.
Videogames that Resemble Chess
Sort:
Starcraft
Basically everything in the turn-based tactics genre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn-based_tactics

Hi, I think this is the closest place I can get to mention our game without annoying anybody :)
Aerena is a turn based PVP game where 2 players place Champions with unique movement and striking patterns on a 7x7 grid based board. Often referred to as 'Mix between Chess and Magic the Gathering' or 'like Battle Chess' and generally attracting a playerbase that also enjoys Chess (Almost all out Season Winners and Tournament Winners told us they were avid Chess players at some point or still are) I thought I could very well mention this on a forum where exactly this kind of preferences are very likely to be met :)
Aerena can be played on Steam (PC, Mac), Android and iOS.
If you want to try the game on PC without spending cash, just let me know here :) On tablets it is free.
Cheers!

Way back in the day, we played a game called Archon on the Apple II. Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon:_The_Light_and_the_Dark
Hard to believe that Archon is an EA title.
Another game that came to mind is:
Duelyst:

probably the most chess-like and also aesthetically most interesting games coming out 2015!
Just received my beta access today, it is great.
Also, here is out gameplay video:

don´t let the cheesyness of the lore fool you, with 16 Champions, 40 special cards, and 5 kinds of Ships (King), played on 9 different layouts, it is actually pretty complex.
Something that only 'resembles' chess is imperfect by definition.
What videogame resembles chess the most (besides the ones that are chess, of course)? Which characters/units resemble chess pieces- in movement, ability, etc.?
My suggestions are:
Advance Wars
Fire Emblem
....... any others?
