Which length description are you looking for?:

3

5

8

I believe this is a double definition.

'game' is the first definition.
(chess is a kind of game)

'show' is the second definition.
(I know that chess is a type of sequential game)

(Other definitions for chess that I've seen before include "Sixteen-men-a-side game" , "Pure-skill board game" , "Game involving mates" , "activity aimed at downfall of a king" , "Pieces moved in this" .)
