We have a local storefront that’s been closed for years but people (maybe the owner or with permission from since it’s so consistent?) set up multiple chess tables in front of it most days and it’s always wholesome to pass people playing on an otherwise rather depressing city street.
That's what I love about chess. The barrier for entry is so low that anyone can play it pretty much anywhere.
You'll find it in wealthy areas, poor areas, schools, prisons. Kids play it, their parents play it, their grandparents play it, etc.
Go is even easier to learn though. The only thing chess is better at is memes
