Note: Feel free to come up with a better name.

Tl;dr: A squishy zoner with his abilities sharing a cooldown and dealing extra damage if he alternates.

Passive: checkmate - Xeroh's Q, W, and E share one short cooldown, damaging a champion with one of his abilities causes one of any of his OTHER abilities to deal 30% extra damage. Pieces summoned from his abilities disappear if he moves too far from them.

Q: rook - summon/move the rook to a target location, dealing damage in an area if it makes contact. It creates a path that gives Xeroh increased move speed if he moves in the direction opposite the rook moves. (This represents castling in chess)

W: Bishop - summon/move the bishop to a target location(doesn't deal damage), the next click moves the bishop again, dealing damage to everything it passes through. The first target hit takes increased damage.

E: knight - select an area on the ground to summon/move the knight to it. The knight leaps to the location, damaging and slowing enemies in a large area around it.

R: The queen - choose a location to temporally summon the queen, pressing R again moves the queen in a straight line damaging anything it touches (short cool down) the queen's cooldown is separate from the other pieces, and while it is active, the additional damage from the passive is increased.

Playstyle: Xeroh will want to keep two pieces to the sides, near the bushes, in case he is ganked. Keep one piece (usually the knight) in the center to harass and farm. The rook does the most damage but it's the only one able to be body blocked. The bishop is great for exploiting openings because it deals more damage to your opponent if it doesn't hit any other targets along the way. Use your ult when going for the kill to increase the damage of your whole kit( provided you use your passive ).

Xeroh's auto attacks are ranged, they don't travel very far but his abilities have long reach, he scales off ability power, but he has no mana. His gameplay depends on the positioning of his pieces and utilization of his passive because he is quite squishy.

The mechanics required for this though holy crap. The kit of Yorick, Orianna and Azir in one. I love the chess theme and concept though.
