No, It wouldn't. Chess is a much more complex task than spam filtering.
A baysian filter does not learn sequences. Spam filtering is a binary classification task. You give it message and the task is to decide whether that message is spam or not spam. This is based on a bunch of pre-defined features - usually the words that occur in the text - and the probabilities of those features turning up in spam vs. non spam.
Playing chess is not something that you can naturally represent as a binary classification task. Any approach that attempts to represent playing chess in this way is going to perform poorly.
