    Not a single reference in the chess article to the global phenomenon which is Andrew Tate…. Not saying he’s the only reason, but he mentions the advantages of learning strategy for the long game in chess regularly, and has been a huge influence on otherwise uninspired young men as of late. But God forbid they talk about someone who doesn’t ‘play their game’…
