Chess Industry in numbers - great helicopter view

The Chess Industry in on the rise, and it seems a winner takes it all scenario (in this case to chess.com). Online chess has grown significantly since COVID and in person chess has also trend upwards (see below charts below). A great story to analyze especially, when we know that machines beat humans for a long time (just see the Elo rating below) and are on a completely different level, however the interest to human games is huge and increasing. My personal takeaway is that an average expert player rates at 2.100 Elo rating. so i’m still 1.000 Elo below that average :-) #chess #chessindustry #chesstrends #chessratings #impactofai #aienabler #augementedreality https://sherwood.news/culture/how-the-chess-com-empire-makes-more-than-usd100m-a-year/
