 You're referring to the fact that there are now more chess players on YouTube and other online platforms! 🏰👥

Indeed, with the rise of social media and online streaming, it's become easier for chess enthusiasts to share their games, analysis, and commentary with a wider audience. This has led to an increase in the number of chess streamers and YouTubers, offering a diverse range of content from casual games to competitive tournaments, and even educational tutorials.

Some popular examples include:

1. Agadmator: A well-known YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers, featuring aggressive and entertaining gameplay.
2. ChessLecture: A popular online chess coaching platform that offers video lessons and live streams.
3. ChessNetwork: A chess training website and YouTube channel offering in-depth analysis and commentary.

These platforms have not only helped to promote the game of chess but also provided a unique opportunity for players to connect with each other, learn from others, and improve their skills.
