OK Bob, I see your point, you take the word "chess" as a generic term for any chess-like game. But for most people chess with no epithet is international chess and "a game of chess" is a particular game of international chess between 2 players.
Wouldn't something like "A friendly chess variant" be better? Or "A friendly fairy chess"?
