## What Jamie wrote

It is cool to see Chess growing in popularity, for a multitude of reasons. I've seen this myself. I was a little surprised when Tyler told me he had started playing Chess online a lot. He plays during downtown and plays both people and AI players. I love that he has taken a liking to it, although it highlights that I am a pretty poor Chess player myself. ♟️
