So, I have just downloaded an .exe file from win7games.com that install Windows 7 games and also installed essential Wine components such as wine, wine-gecko, wine-mono, lib32-gnutls, lib32-alsa-lib, etc. When I open the .exe program with Wine, it does the installation of the games, but when I click the game executable icons, they show me a blank error message with no text.

So you downloaded some windows executable but it does not work.
Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Start by identifying the windows executable in question and also don't click on any icons but run wine from an interactive shell, it'll print a lot of stuff and likely also some error message(s)
Then list the session type (display server, WM/DE/compositor) and (probably) "glxinfo -B"

For example, when I try to run Microsoft Chess Titans:
[miguel@archmiguel ~]$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/miguel/.wine" wine start /ProgIDOpen MicrosoftChessTitansSaveFile %f
0124:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
[miguel@archmiguel ~]$ 012c:err:winediag:ntlm_check_version ntlm_auth was not found. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

I'll take a shot at this. Maybe try installing samba.
Edit: You may, or may not need to read this since it looks like what it really wants in winbind. It may work with you doing nothing but sometimes windows games really make you work for it. https://man.archlinux.org/man/winbindd.8.en

After installing samba, now I get this:

Do you acutally have a G33 chip from 2007 or is this on a virtual machine?
env WINEPREFIX="/home/miguel/.wine" wine start /ProgIDOpen MicrosoftChessTitansSaveFile %f
The %f is a placeholder and maybe we skip wine start, cause that looks bogus, too and will generate another indirection and I'd expect much more output from wine.
Run "wine /path/to/the/actual.exe" and post the output of that.

I actually have a G33 chip from 2007 on my machine. But even so it should be running Windows 7 games because I used to play those games on the same device.
Also, I tried to run Wine from the actual .exe and it didn't work:

See whether
WINEDEBUG=+relay,+msgbox wine ./chess.exe > /tmp/wine.log 2>&1
generates something more manageable.
Is this a wayland or an X11 session?
Online
I am using X11 session. Also, when I do that command, I get the same error message of the Imgur link I have sent recently.
Online
The winedebug parameter controls the debug output, it will not change anythign about the situation, ever.
The idea is that you end up w/ a log << 500 MB this way.
Online
I tried doing the command again and had the same error. Maybe I have to use a Windows 7 virtual machine for those games instead.
Online
Are you using a translation service for this?
=> https://deepl.com
We want to get a usable log from wine. The full trace is way too long, but maybe the +relay,+msgbox one will show just about enough.
Edit: the weird dialog will remain, no matter what you set WINEDEBUG to.

I guess your current locale isn't en_US?

I have done your commands and installed ttf-ms-fonts from the AUR. My default locale is set to pt_BR. But when doing:
LC_ALL=C wine ./chess.exe
I still get the blank error message.
