It's absolutely astounding that you can go on Twitch and see Grandmasters playing speed chess at pretty much any time of day.

I agree with other posters who've said that while Queen's Gambit may have sparked interest, it's streamers -- professional chess players or not -- who are keeping interest high.

I'm a big fan of chess, and it's awesome to see so many of my friends suddenly become interested in the game!

It was a catastrophe. Not surprised they gloss over it. Plus Phish is more polarizing than Trump so it's dangerous to associate with your brand. Songs are longer than chess matches.
