Wasn't this an episode of Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?

There is indeed a vaguely similar episode of Carmen Sandiego: "Rules of the Game". The holographic head might be The Chief, and the climax of the episode does feature the ACME detectives playing as part of a giant chess game. Though the game is played on the site of a Hawaiian volcano, there isn't any fog present — however, earlier in the episode, the detectives warp into a foggy part of China and nearly get run down by some Chinese clay soldiers being rolled down a track.

No the show was live action with some CGI for the head and the elevator shots.

and I think the show was from the bbc. I saw it in Italy but the show was in english. It was shot sort of like a game show but the events were obviously scripted. Also the one who outsmarted the black knight was a girl. I think.

That's Incredible Games, a gameshow on CBBC. The game I always remember best is the one where they're shrunk and have to swim through alphabet soup... The only episode on youtube is a celebrity special, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYK-1ICTdYk

Yes that is it! Thanks so much! I was wondering what it was for years!
