Hello, I attempted to install the port and recieved the same error as 
you. The current makefile does not grab the gnuchess.tar.gz, whenever 
WITH_OPENING_BOOK is specified, because EXTRACT_ONLY is misplaced 
underneathe of that section. Comment out that EXTRACT_ONLY line and 
underneathe the MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR line add the following two lines:

DISTFILES=      ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
EXTRACT_ONLY=   ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}

I suppose someone should submit a patch for this...
