The sport of chess has entered a popular phase. I love it because there's so much to play. Chess.com has also given new life to an old game. There's so much to do.

Andrew Tate the goat at chess

Chess has been around for 1,400 years, and has gone through many phases. Right now it’s going through the “trending” phase, I guess.

My bet is Andrew Tate honestly. What are the chances that chess becomes overwhelmingly popular at the same time Tate rose to fame and made chess look cool rather than dorky? And chess.com and gothamchess were right there to guide everyone on how to play
