I saw the same problem on a recent RedHat Linux. I have no idea why, but
commenting out the line
\selectlanguage{english}
in the english.sty file in the chess12 package (it is near the end of
the file) made it work. (Just put a % at the start of the line to
comment it out.)

I'd like to have a simplified version of the chess12 package with the
language stuff removed, but I don't know enough about modifying LaTeX
packages to do this.

You can get TeX, LaTeX, dvi viewers/converters etc for Windows, so I'm
sure it can be made to work. A web search should turn up the software
you need.
