The video shows how technology may simplify the game of chess 52 years from now–or perhaps over-simplify it to the point that it leaves little room for analysis?

Definitely, the board game is made much simpler that perhaps anyone would be able to play it. One touch of the pieces and the device gives you move and direction options like a GPS navigator does.

But will it give the same intellectual challenges that traditional chess games today do?

Or, will it be a no-brainer game to the point that it makes the players dumber?

Well, see for yourself!
