Used to be MASSIVE in soviet union. Chess and checkers all the time outside during summer. Nowdays it moved online. Hated chess as a kid because parents and brother were very good and I had nobody to learn against.

Luis King
Yes it does and we feel very bad about not having a strong player for a long time. Now we have a couple of decent players and some prodigies, we shall see what comes of it.
