I think this post is simplistic. Chess does not have anything to do with what most middle-managers do and I don't see AI manage humans with more depth, it has to become sentient first essentially. I think for AI to replace most middle managers it has to get really smart, understand problems instantly and assess their consequences. This is something we can't do and I think we will rather see better robots first since their environment is more constrained. But for "humans as resources" we are already seeing this. If the task is repetitive, clearly defined then we have something like gig-economy where some middle managers are absent. Nobody dispatches uber-drivers, it's all automated.
