Cases resulting from extra time in game (6)

I believe the answer is:

chests

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cases' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'extra time in game' is the wordplay.
'extra time' becomes 't' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'extra' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'game' becomes 'chess' (board game).
't' put inside 'chess' is 'CHESTS'.

'resulting from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chests that I've seen before include "Lidded storage boxes" , "Coffers of groups of drawers" , "Storage boxes with lids" , "Large boxes for storing things, or body parts" , "Strong boxes or trunks" .)
