There are various PostScript Chess fonts around. Try googling on

  chess "postscript font"

One which comes up and should be OK (since it comes originally
from Adobe) is at

  http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/chess/cheq/

The PS which is listed as cheq.ps is in fact the PS definition of
the font in ASCI format, i.e. a .pfa file, and should be treated
as such when installing into groff.

And, of course, the other file you'll need is cheq.afm!

Hoping this helps,
Ted.
