Just got to the scenes of Nirima failing at chess. Two things stand out here: 1. the chess position against Anii is a generic opening with neither side at an advantage, and 2. they say "blackjack" in the dialogue, but the rules described are for "crazy eights" (what "uno" is based on).
If you have the ability to place any of the individual pieces on the chessboard asset, I'd recommend searching chess videos on youtube to find a position where the person in the video says that one side is about to lose.
