So, this is the first year I've ever heard of Chess Pie.  All my life, living in the South for 32 years, never heard of it!
I bought Alton Browns book earlier this year and he had a recipe for a Chocolate Chess Pie.  I had plans to make it sometime, but never got around to it.  
Then, my sister-in-law told me her favorite pie was Chess Pie and I knew i had to make it for Thanksgiving so she could have it.  
It is a really sweet, creamy-like custard type of pie. Very rich and very good. The way it crust on top is a little heaven in each bite!
