I know that at one time Borland included in its "Game Programmer's toolbox"
a chess-playing program written in Pascal; I suspect it'd be easy
to translate that to Ada.  You'd need to check on usage rights before
you started.

There's a great deal of literature out there on writing chess playing
programs.  It'd be easy to create your own program (though creating
one that plays _well_ is another problem altogether...!).
