    Using normal chess pieces? ....

    1)

    umm I mean you do have an 8x8 grid (8 bits each row) and you could have pieces make up bits being on or off and make a 8 letter phrase (each row being it's own letter).

    (Ascii Wikipedia for your reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_code_chart)

    2)

    Maybe you could also do something like the Where Am I Game?

    example:

    I stay one night in Denver; four nights in San Francisco; And one night in Washington DC;

    Where am I?

    1 Denver = D 4 SanFrancisco = F 1 WashingtonDC = W

    (DFW) -> Dallas

    So you could do something like playing a chess game and for every attempted move (like player 1 moves a Rook but keeps his hand on it and taps the board thinking about the move and then places it down means the letter 'o').

    3)

    There was also a movie with Bruce Willis (or The Rock Johnson. I always get them confused). Where the main guy tries to escape from a space prison. There was one scene where they communicated over a chess game by only talking when there hand was on the queen. Any word spoken while on the queen was then concatenated to a sentance to convey what they were really talking about.
