First, someone has to design a quantum algorithm to do a chess search. I do not know if that is already done, but it is highly non-trivial. The wonder of quantum computing is that it allows to reduce the computational complexity of the problems. But quantum algorithms are some sort of very subtle parallel algorithms, it is not like simply porting the code. I must add that I am not an expert on quantum computing. José.
