Yeah, he used a series of chess-themed henchmen to attack Iron Man, starting with the slightly ridiculous-looking rook on a visit to Scotland, I think. The Bishop had some sorta weird powers, but all I recall about him was that he had this really big hat which contained the machinery to support it's tricks. And the Queen was Tony's pretend girlfriend who dumped him so bad that he got stuck on the bottle.
That was probably one of the weirder line of henchmen in Iron Man, and that's really saying something. The whole "disgraced Tony" arc dragged a bit, but it saw the rise of the silver armor, so no complaints.

Good source for those who don't have time to read through some 300+ comics. (And that's just the first run, though admittedly by far the longest.)
