Chess is everywhere now, not too long ago I saw a group of around 10 year olds all huddled around a chess board taking turns playing each other. This was in a somewhat rough neighborhood too. Was crazy, good crazy though, was a happy surprise. I'd have never have seen that growing up.
At work we also have some college kids (15-17 yo) that do work experience with us, they're always playing chess. And my partner works as IT at a school and she says they regularly have had the dilemma of whether or not they block chess.com because kids regularly play in class, but feel like blocking it outright would send the wrong message.
