The objective was to build an intelligent machine. Games were chosen as they, in humans, require intelligence.
They thought that AI would come out of building systems that can replace humans: sure, but only insofar as you preserve the use of intelligence.
If you replace with a shortcut, you havent built an intelligent machine.

A chess game futhers the project zero amount. General intelligence is a way of being embedded in an environment; is the mechanism of furnishing narrow intelligence with content. It is not a formal challenge, it's at best an engineering one. And a bioengineering one, in my view.
