(You’re going to have to declare the table “chessfss” globally for this to work.)
The chessfss.lua has a "return Table" at the end which declares the table chessfss.
To quote from http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaModuleFunctionCritiqued:
"The problems above can be avoided by not using the module function but instead defining modules in the following simple way: [*1][*2]
Of course, that’s the Lua way. I can’t guess what you’re up to but if it’s going to eventually become a module, the “chessfss” table should not pollute the global namespace. There are canonical locations (check luat-ini.lua) where the functions and data should go:

So you might be better off dropping “require” altogether and just conclude your module with a line like:
thirddata = thirddata or { } thirddata.chessfss = chessfss
instead of returning a table, then loading it with “loadluafile”.
I'm not writing a module but virtual fonts, and they can be used with context and latex. So whatever I will be doing should not be context specific. But I will test if I can keep the chessfss-table local, and if not put it in thirddata if it exists. -- Ulrike Fischer
