It's possible but where is the evidence? There appears to be no board or anything that resembles a piece. Those shown in the picture could be figurines or belonging to some other board game. The article doesn't say how many were found. We need more info I think.

I think it does say that two were found - a bit of a bishop and a bit of a king. I agree that I found it a bit unconvincing, but, hey, they might have other things to compare these bits with?

I think we should wait until they have found a whole chess piece!
