Here’s an idea. There’s a concept of tension and resolution in both chess and in music. With chess, tension occurs when things are “up in the air”. Many pieces are en-prise, things are open not closed.
With music (I’m getting out of my depth here) it’s when you’re hearing a major tonic chord versus others.

I wonder if there’s some automatic way to measure tension in a chess game and translate that (you’d have to give up pitch as a controlled variable).

Maybe a checkmate could have a grand ending.
