Apart from the king, the other pieces are not a literal translation.
der König – king
die Dame – queen (lit. the dame)
der Turm – rook (lit. tower)
der Läufer – bishop (lit. runner)
der Springer – knight (lit. jumper)
der Bauer – pawn (lit. farmer)

So, next time you play chess with a German player, you can surprise them with your knowledge of the German names!
