\Chess\, n. (Bot.)
A species of brome grass ({Bromus secalinus}) which is a
troublesome weed in wheat fields, and is often erroneously
regarded as degenerate or changed wheat; it bears a very
slight resemblance to oats, and if reaped and ground up with
wheat, so as to be used for food, is said to produce narcotic
effects; -- called also {cheat} and {Willard's bromus}. [U.
S.]
Note: Other species of brome grass are called upright chess,
soft chess, etc.
