Kind of a weird question I guess, but I wanted to know if I could somehow apply dialectical materialism to a game like Chess. Idk, it's Friday and I have brain space to think about these things.

yes but the method changes in which the superstructure becomes a primary determining factor and the base is in which determines the possibility of success and diamat would be difficult to utilise beyond descriptive potentials as you have largely detached yourself from a generalised predictive reality into an individualized and easily malleable one

The more players you have the more effective strategizing becomes with diamat

Since diamat isn't really tied to ideology or morality on it's own it just acts as your preferred analysis method so it isn't actually that special
