This is kind of a side-note, but any time chess comes up on here I smile at the resurgence in interest via Twitch/Blitz. I’m a miserable chess player but I fucking love watching it.

Carlson playing the Botez sisters in Blitz may be a publicity stunt, but the best chess player in the world is also model-photogenic and surrounded by serious fucking players who also photograph well?

Good for the game.
