The chess meaning is actually derived from the historical meaning, which was where Hitler ordered the Sicilians to attack the invading forces so that the Germans could escape.

The Flaming Sword was the weapon used by God to stop people from reach the Tree of Life, which gave knowledge of Good & Evil.

So replace a few words...

Flaming Sword -> Meson Bomb
God -> GTVA  
People -> Shivans  
(reversal those 2 is more correct   )
Tree of Life -> GTVA systems
Good & Evil -> who gives a ****

Now we need FS1 missions...(I know, I could do it myself, but it's not installed.  I know, heresy  ).

Everyone's favourite title (I know, newbieish)?  Endgame or Their Finest Hour.
