In her keynote address, the UN communications chief noted that the pandemic represents a physical, social and economic crisis – imposing restrictions on everyone and rendering sports that can be played online, or at a safe physical distance, more important than ever.
(...) According to reports, the pandemic has spurred a surge in chess, with more players coming together online, to compete and enjoy the game.
