Die Auswirkung des Internets auf Schach: 25 % der Schachspieler haben kein Schachbrett und betrachten Schach als ein weiteres Spiel auf ihrem Handy [OC]

Interesting tidbit I guess but this Excel pie chart isn’t beautiful data…

Where does it say they just think of chess as another game on their phone? It could be only on your phone, but you still consider it to be a special game for various reasons, eg history, depth of competition.

There could be plenty of people who play over the board at school/uni, chess club, other places but don’t have a board at home.

You cannot say at all that people who don’t have a chess board „consider chess just another game on their phone“. That wasn’t part of the question, you cannot infer emotional meaning or sentiment from a simple factual question about the ownership of a physical object.

„25% of people on r/chess who responded to my poll don’t own a chessboard, and I unsubtly judge them for what I think that means.“
