OK, it's not working because you're trying to nest two levels of 
{{...}}. You're trying to do something like this: |h8={{♞}} inside a 
{{template inclusion block}}. This doesn't work because the parser isn't 
that smart. It stops at the first "}}" and doesn't realise that several 
{{...}}s were nested inside each other.

I've experimented around a bit (maybe you've seen the edits that I 
accidentally sent to sl.wikipedia.org rather than my local install :) ). 
I tried to make it so that you can write |h8=♞ and then have 
[[Template:Chess Position]] include another template by saying 
{{chess_{{{h8}}}}}. But this also didn't work: It just generated a link 
to [[Template:Chess_♞]] even if that page existed. I don't know why it 
does that. I've examined the source code, but I can't find the error. 
This is clearly a bug which I'm going to file in Bugzilla now.
