When somebody says something is chess not checkers, they're implying that it is somehow more serious, or to be taken more seriously than checkers if it's chess, even though they are both games. Not everything in life is a board game, so the worst kind of game is one that seems designed to be taken seriously when games are the opposite of serious.

Get the Chessmug. A chess-punch is a strategic move between two people who are battling for control / power over a situation or others. Where the attacker uses a combination of mind-games and plausible truths to out-strategize their opponent in a grab for power, to such a great extent that it disables their component and prevents them from making any further moves. In doing so - it can create great mental anguish in the mind of the person being attacked and can lead to mental illness.
Kareem was a workplace psychopath who placed great emphasis on the power that he had over situations and others. He had a background spreading democracy throughout old Russia, crazy stories that inferred past involvement with the intelligence community, a deep understanding of how to read others and knew how to use sub-text to alter the perceptions that others had of him, themselves and the situations that they were involved in. He was a scary guy.
Dave - who was new to the business - got off on the wrong foot with Kareem. Kareem was worried that Dave was trying to disempower him. Kareem used manipulative tactics to instil fear in Dave's mind and to out-strategize him - ultimately culminating in a chess-punch that disabled Dave and prevented him from being able to function.

Get the The chessemug. If two people never sit down at a table and engage in the chess match, none of the pieces on the board, not even the queen (the most powerful piece) has any real power. The closer somebody gets you to the board, the more of the illusion you miss.
As long as somebody can get you to play chess, they can also get you to do what they want you to do.
