Compared to what? Screwing? Have to have some perspective. It's plenty popular.

Exactly. Chess is more popular than many trades/crafts that would generally be considered more practical, such as screwing, hammering, carpentry, auto repair, etc. From that perspective, one could make the argument that chess is too popular.
Make
Chess
Great
Again
Because after people encounter the types of losers you meet here, they stay far, far away from any board game. Even Candyland.

I read that over 6 million world wide watched the world chess championship. Chess.com has a crazy amount of members. There isn't a person in the world that doesn't know of the game. Is it what the cool kids do? Probably not, but I believe, especially with the easy online access, that it's more popular now than it's ever been.
Chess is popular. But of course it won't be as popular as super bowl.
They just showed the World Chess Championship on ESPN! It was a long segment too!
Chess is not as popular today as it was years ago before the advent of video games with fast action and instant gratification.... yes more people may play now than years ago but one must remember that mortality rates years ago were much higher. In other countries without access to the internet as available as it is here more people play chess and board games..... Today most of the younger generation would rather paly candy crush for hours than actually have to think.

Yeah I didn't think about that Redgirl. Probably lots of people that open accounts and play just one game. I didn't know there's that many games played daily.

So... you're saying that to play chess, you either have to be intelligent or be a doctor?

What is super bowl?
post scriptum: Googled it. We call it "futebol americano" (american football). Nobody really cares.
