Not since 1972, when American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer defeated defending champion Boris Spassky in the World Chess Championship, has there been such a fascination in this board game of strategy. This, in part, is thanks to one of the most binge-watched series on Netflix this past year, “The Queen’s Gambit.” In fact, interest has piqued so much that retailers have reported huge surges in sales of chess sets and Chess.com has added 3.2 million members after the show’s debut in late October.
While you may never have heard of the Fischer/Spassky showdown, there’s little doubt the show that has made chess cool has been brought to your attention. Add to that a pandemic that keeps us housebound, and the spark to dust off your old chessboard (or buy your very first one!) may have been ignited.
You may already know the fundamentals; learning how to move the pieces is relatively simple. The key to the game is strategy—thinking ahead, anticipating your opponent’s moves, controlling the board.
