Trivial problem, easy solution: reading the documentation:
Running games.tex with latex -recorder shows that skaknew/uskak.fd is
loaded, reading skaknew documentation shows that one has to change
skak.sty:

This is described in the skaknew readme.
Now it runs.
I will add that to our patch queue ... should be in the next upload of
texlive-extra.
