Is Chess Getting More Popular?
The U.K. superstore chain, Tesco, said it was expecting to sell more than 35,000 chess sets in the run-up to Christmas.
It has seen sales of chess sets far exceed other board games in store such as Connect 4 and Cluedo.
Karen Harris, senior buying manager at Tesco, said: “Chess, of all the really traditional board games, has undergone an image transformation.
“Being able to play chess is fast becoming a very cool skill for young people.”
Too cool? Just a fad? What do you think?

But what if I'm part of the fad? Will I be hopelessly uncool if I keep playing?
