Could This Game Become a replacement for chess. Im not 100% sure if this would be possible. However i think it may appeal to children/teens better as it is a video game.
I agree it will most likely have more appeal to youth. However, I disagree that it will ever have the chance of replacing chess in any context, especially at school. As well as being the ultimate level playing field in a strategy game, chess is nowhere near as complex as sc2 which makes it far easier to get into and play at a decent, mildly competitive, level quickly.
