Try look for its configuration file/folder in your home directory (hidden). If you delete that file/folder it will reset to default (beware that user changes, saved stuff etc. in dreamchess will be deleted as well).

If the app in question is called dreamchess, then you would go to your home folder and do Ctrl-H to see your hidden files. Then you would look for a folder called .dreamchess or something similar. If you do not see one, look in the .config folder for it. This applies to all apps with config files.
