How many games might be confused with "western chess" if you simply referred to it as "chess"? If, for example, it would cause great confusion among players of the game Chinese chess to refer to what they know as "western chess" as simply "chess", then it is probably best to leave it as "western chess" or perhaps "classical chess" or "international chess". Perhaps you could also shed some light on which "chess" was the first. IE Did "western chess" exist before Chinese chess or Japenese chess? It would be rather unstable to refer to "western chess" as "chess" if, for example, Japenese chess came before western chess.
