If chess were a new game released today, I imagine a lot of these "why'd they make it political" types would probably object to the fact that the most powerful character in the game is the only one that's clearly stated to be a woman.

If chess came out today, some mod author would give her huge badonkers
Some mod authors have most definitely already done that. Only 250$ USD for a hand carved set on Etsy.
I could see myself owning this if I had the money
Sometimes I see a nude depiction and wonder to myself if it's artsy or pornographic. In this case she's fingering herself, so that answers that question
What's Botticelli's Venus doing with her hair?
Probably not much, her hand is on her thigh. Though I guess it's possible that a goddess has articulated hair. If you zoom in on this chess piece her finger is clearly extended and going between her legs
Well, originally, the piece is Vizier - king's advisor, the gender of which isn't specified. (but implied to be male?)
There's not a time in history sports and games weren't political.
Politicize Pac-Man
Pac-man was made specifically to appeal to women, a demographic that was rarely targeted with video games at that time. Its core design came right out of the idea that "women like to eat".
Is this feminist-misogynist sandwich political enough for you?
Chess does not involve politics, because there is no decision making in groups. The chess in Harry potter where the pieces can talk to you... That has politics
