Chess Pie, along with its cousin Buttermilk Pie fall into the category of what is called "desperation pies" or "make-do" pies. I found some really interesting articles on these pies that I thought I would share with you:

Wiki had some really interesting info on the strange name associated with this mess of deliciousness:
"The origin of the name chess pie is unknown, but many theories have been proposed. It could be a derivation of "cheese pie", the combination of eggs, butter, and sugar making a custard like filling that is similar in texture to British cheesecakes and lemon curd;[3] it could be named after the town of Chester, England;[4] it could be from a piece of furniture used prior to home refrigeration called a "pie chest", in which pies were stored; or it could be an eggcorn of "It's just pie," due to a misinterpretation of the pronunciation "It's jes' pie" in Southern American English.[5]"
