Yes it is taking that long for the next redraw
between my moves.
Sorry if I am a little dense here. Does this happen in both 2D and 3D
views?
Is this what happens? You move your pawn from d2 to d4 and it moves to
the new space. You wait about 2 minutes for the computer to move it's
piece then you can move your piece.

Do you drag your pawn from d2 to d4 and it takes 2 minutes for the pawn

If it is the first, then that is what I have been talking about with
the level setting in the preferences. Open Chess's preferences under
the Chess menu and set the level slider to easy for a faster game.
If it is the second, then a video card would help. To give you an idea,
on my beige G4 533 512meg running 10.2.8 with a Radeon 7000, the pieces
move in the 3D view almost as soon as I drag them, with just a very
slight hesitation (1/10 of a second behind the mouse).
