Time is the fourth dimension, humans do not have the ability to perceive time, we only experience the passage of time

Humans perceive time…

No we don’t, we perceive the present. We perceive length width and height, and have the ability to traverse that space. We don’t have currently have the ability to experience anything other than the current moment. Have you seen the movie Arrival? That’s an attempt to show what truly perceiving time would be like.

We can traverse space because it’s space. Everything in the universe can traverse space. Similarly, the entire universe experiences time in only one direction. Time and space are the same thing. The movie Arrival is fiction and has nothing to do with the physics here

In normal chess, time doesn’t really exist in the normal way that a dimension works. Using one or more time dimensions in a game means you need to be able to control some movement along that axis. In normal chess, every piece moves one “space” (for lack of a better word) forward in time with each move.
If you want to actually see time dimensions being used in a game, try playing 5d chess with multiverse time travel

I don’t know about that. In speed chess, you can lose a game just buy running out of time. Outside of speed chess the state of the board is largely dependent on a sequence of events made over time; even if movement in the 2 directions is always instantaneous, each move is a tick of the clock. Like the 2D board space, most (unique) pieces can move in multiple directions, but like time, games only move forward. Take your hand off the piece, and its irreversible: games move only one direction in time.
I’d say time is definitely a component of the game.
