The first that springs to mind is the Korean War (1950-1953).

Explanation:

This conflict was an example of the kind of indirect confrontation between superpowers that will characterize the entire Cold War.
Exactly like on a chessboard the two opponents (US and USSR) use pawns and other pieces to fight without facing each other physically and directly.
