Chess was pulled from the beta features for all the devices ages ago. It was still in the firmware package and could be used. Later it stopped working. The library might still be there because it being used by something else, but it is more likely that the effort to remove it just isn't worth it as it will do nothing.

The rest of the games will still be there as most of the devices still have them a Beta Features. They will probably work on all devices if you can start them, but they might not occupy the full screen or have other display problems.
