Online chess: incredible, constructive, educational
While playing chess online has been around for a few decades, during the pandemic homebound players have grown the game exponentially. CBS News quoted Grandmaster Maurice Ashley as saying “the pandemic has driven people indoors, and they’re looking for something incredible, constructive, educational to do.”
Moreover, the Netflix hit series
The Queen’s Gambit has sparked increases in searches for learning chess. For the most part, the mainstream media portrays chess as a worthy, honest game. A CNN article stated, “Chess is a game of intellect. Remember intellect? In a world where every news development seems more implausible than the last, there is something infinitely reassuring in retreating to a series about a cerebral game, in which (this is not spoiling anything, I think) nobody cheats.”
