As I think I've posted here before, Hampkins has written on infinite chess:

http://jdh.hamkins.org/tag/infinite-chess/

Abstract. I shall give a general introduction to the theory of infinite 
games, using infinite chess — chess played on an infinite edgeless 
chessboard — as a central example. Since chess, when won, is won at a 
finite stage of play, infinite chess is an example of what is known 
technically as an open game, and such games admit the theory of transfinite 
ordinal game values. I shall exhibit several interesting positions in 
infinite chess with very high transfinite game values. The precise value of 
the omega one of chess is an open mathematical question.  This talk will 
include some of the latest progress, which includes a position with game 
value ω^4.
.

But whether its the rules of Hampkins chess or Peano arithmetic, they can 
be encoded in Agda and run on a computer.
