The game has been rising in popularity for a year, gaining traction among students as an in-class hobby. Sophomore International Chess Federation (FIDE) Master Austin Mei attributes it to the pandemic."[Chess] gained a lot of attention in the pandemic, when everyone was on their computers," Mei said. "It hooked a lot of people, and I don't think it's too much of a problem if you're playing in class and learning well regardless."
