See riches quench confusion in this game (7,8)

I believe the answer is:

chinese chequers

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

'this game' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'see riches quench confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'riches'+'quench'='seerichesquench'
'seerichesquench' with letters rearranged gives 'CHINESE CHEQUERS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for chinese chequers that I've seen is " Game on board".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
