The chess metagame has developed over time to include particularly effective opening moves and reactions to them. However, since the game rules themselves are static, the metagame does not evolve in the same ways it does for games where the rules are regularly updated by developers.

As in other games, chess can also involve a metagame in which players use their knowledge of how the game is being played in a larger competitive context, beyond the rules of the game itself. Researchers identified a set of games in which players may have colluded in early rounds of chess tournaments to obfuscate player strength for a matchmaking advantage in later rounds.
