Did you know that the 2nd book in history printed in English was about #chess?

I'd stress it again. The tremendous success of "Queen's Gambit" shows first and foremost that people worldwide are still excited about chess, and it is still seen as an epitome of human's abilities. Not another board game. Not esports. Chess. Old and eternally young. The game.
