idk just getting child nostalgia and wanting to play a few games. The news coverage and stuff like streamers and yters certainly help bring attention to the game.
Yes, true!
Why more and more people are attracted to chess now a days? Opinions welcome!
Sort:
YouTube, Twitch, and The Queens Gambit. I joined Chess.com mainly because of guys like Hikaru and Eric Rosen. On another note people could see the popularity of chess and figure that if they were going to get addicted to a game it might as well be a game like chess.

Yes, chess is a beautiful game.
Chess and Intelligence!
People with lots of experience playing chess have highly developed thinking abilities in two areas (in addition to memory skills):
- Fluid intelligence. This is the ability to consider new kinds of problems and use reasoning to solve them.
- Processing speed. This is the ability to swiftly comprehend tasks and respond efficiently to challenges.

I’ve heard that tiddlywinks is on the rise, and is becoming more popular than ever before , partially due to the corona situation. The world Tiddlywinks Championship, will take place in London on December 25 and it’s an unrated event, so I shall be taking part in this prestigious event ! ........wish me luck guys ! ......thanks 🙏
What is Tiddlywinks?
My cat has eaten the google. So, I can't do it now
Tiddlywinks.com just had a resurgence of members because of FitNLex's global hit series Gone in a Wink and tiddlywinks GM Hakamura's stream hosted on Mixer.

@sonia - I know the aggregate numbers have increased, but have they as a percentage of the population before the pandemic? I have a feeling that in countries like India it has, but in Russia as well? It seems to me that you get people there are turning to other forms of entertainment.
Yeah I wouldn't doubt that being a reasonable assumption. I'd say yes the percentage of the population, in places like say Russia would have increased.
Depends on how good someone understand the game. If someone just play 2/0 blitz without learning they're not gonna understand it enough to enjoy it
That's not true. The friend who got me into chess this year has only ever played bullet and blitz for about 6 months. He doesn't study. He's been 1400 for as long as I can remember. He plays more than I do. The level of understanding doesn't matter, if they enjoy chess, then they enjoy chess.

Moistcr1tikal's immortal game brought me here. I was always a casual player but extended quarantine boredom made me stick to it.
Yes, many people are some what addicted to chess now a days.
