That makes me think of a kind of chess role playing game, hehe. Might be
interesting. You could have various tasks you have to complete, and at the end
of each task, you have to beat some guy in chess in order to get whatever you're
trying to get. Maybe the higher you progress in the chess world, the more
political influence you have (which is the case in some places). You'd have to
win tournaments to get money to buy cooler weapons and equipment. As the game
goes on, the opponents become harder. You could use the results against previous
opponents to get an estimate of how good the player is, then adjust future
opponents accordingly to make it difficult and challenging to advance in the
game, but not impossible (IE don't make level 5 full, unleashed Fritz, because
then 0.000001% of the population can make it to level 6).

It might be an interesting way to get kids to improve their chess. For parents
who force chess on their kids (which makes it seem like work, not fun), this
could make it fun to learn, since you're playing a game to improve your game
playing :)
