In normal chess, time doesn’t really exist in the normal way that a dimension works. Using one or more time dimensions in a game means you need to be able to control some movement along that axis. In normal chess, every piece moves one “space” (for lack of a better word) forward in time with each move.
The same can be said for real life. Time is a temporal dimension, not a spatial one, so everything must only move through it in one direction, and usually does so at a constant rate. (Taking relativity into account things move more slowly through time at high velocities but that’s not applicable to most of our world).
I don’t know about that. In speed chess, you can lose a game just buy running out of time. Outside of speed chess the state of the board is largely dependent on a sequence of events made over time; even if movement in the 2 directions is always instantaneous, each move is a tick of the clock. Like the 2D board space, most (unique) pieces can move in multiple directions, but like time, games only move forward. Take your hand off the piece, and its irreversible: games move only one direction in time.
I’d say time is definitely a component of the game.

If you want to actually see time dimensions being used in a game, try playing 5d chess with multiverse time travel
