Geez. Never thought chess would actually be THIS POPULAR! When chess.com hosted the PogChamps, literally, chess became famous. In one of the twitch streams, the channel Chess (chess.com) reached 60 K viewers!

What I don't get is that how it wasn't very popular back then, and now look at it now!

Huh. What are your opinions on this explosion of chess?

There’s a lot of people who play and love chess. Now that they’re stuck inside, they get to practice what they enjoy much more.

I don't think it did, I still haven't found someone to play chess with in real life.
