Normal dice can be used by assigning pieces to the numbers as so: 1 is pawn, 2 is knight, 3 is bishop, 4 is rook, 5 is queen, and 6 is king. On your turn you roll both dice, then pick 1 of your pieces to move as indicated by one of the dice rolled. You may not move a piece if you didn’t roll it. If you roll doubles, then you choose any one of your pieces to move. If you have no legal move for either die rolled, then you lose your turn without moving and your opponent goes. You may castle under the normal conditions if you roll a rook, king, or doubles. You may only use en passant if you roll a pawn or doubles the very next turn when the first opportunity for the en passant capture arises. If you don’t, you may not use en passant on a later turn. When you are in check, you may only move pieces rolled that allow you to handle getting out of check. If your roll is unable to do that, then you lose your turn but you do not automatically lose the game. However, you will lose the game if your opponent rolls the appropriate pieces needed to capture your king. Then they are allowed to capture it and win. If they fail to do so, then you are allowed to try and roll again to escape check. The first player to capture their opponent’s king or to position their pieces into checkmate, immediately wins.

About Three Pips, from BoardGameGeek:

Players: 2 Equipment: 8x8 chess board, two sets of 6 dice for each player (of different colors), and one more pair of dice (any color). Setup: Arrange the 6 dice on the first row of the board. They should be placed in ascending order of 1-2-3-4-5-6 from left to right from their owner's point of view. The one should be on the second square from the left and the six should have one empty space to its right. Hereafter, these dice are called dicemen. Object: To use exactly two of your own dice and one of the opposing player's dice to form a string of three consecutive numbers. This string of dice does have to be adjacent to one another either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
