One of the worlds top chess journalists in the world explores why, after 1,500 years of existence, chess has never been more relevant than now.
Chess is not just one of the greatest games ever devised. It has inspired writers, painters, and filmmakers, and is a secret mover behind technical revolutions like artificial intelligence that are transforming society.
In this fascinating pop culture history of the game and its impact, acclaimed Chess.com journalist Peter Doggers (also their news and events director), reveals how computers and the Internet have further strengthened the timeless magic of chess in the digital era, leading to a new peak in popularity and cultural relevance. Doggers explores chess as a cultural phenomenon: from its earliest beginnings in ancient India to its biggest stars and most dramatic moments to the impact of the internet and AI.
