http://www.chromecow.com/2007/03/10/dd37-schrodingers-pawn/
is a link
which results from a Google search using the key words: quantum chess.

The chrome cow approach simply replicates the Schrodinger's cat
situation using two boards.  A piece can be moved to different
locations on the two boards.  Rules to account  for superpositon,
entanglement, and collapse are added. As far as I know, this does not
quite capture the essence of quantum mechanics but it does inspire
some tantalizing questions: what rules would result in play that
needed a quantum computer to analyze?  What set of rules are a
reasonable match to the illogic of quantum mechanics?  What simpler
game might be extended with quantum rules, thus providing significant
insight into the mechanics of the universe?
