    Outdoor activities as well, obviously. I think the point the parents are making is that kids are going to play games on their screens, so if, perhaps, they could get their child to play a game that improves cognitive ability, coping skills, problem solving skills, and socioaffective development, that would be better.

    It also has an “IRL” version where the skills from the screen are almost directly translated over the board, which is helpful. That was the context of the win against the GM.

      Pfft. Any rts or 4x game requires far more brain skills than chess.

      The future is now, old man.
