I would think that anyone pasting a chess board (à la your proposal) to an
RTL context will see that something went amiss, and also know enough about
bidi to set the bidi context to LTR for the chess board(s), either by some
setting, or by inserting bidi control characters.

So a small caveat is all that is necessary. Like:
"The chess boards are assumed to be set in a left-to-right bidi context."
