The Philadelphia City Paper lets us know about a trend that I've seen coming for a long time: the renewed popularity of chess. It centers around a new book called "Chess Bitch," about a beautiful woman who is, that's right, into chess.
That's right, chess is the new poker. I could see chess championships being broadcast on ESPN, with "Chess Bitch" author Jennifer Shahade standing in for Annie Duke, and on-screen graphics illustrating possible moves. I'm telling you, this is only months away.
