Yes, soccer beats chess by a lot when it comes to number of viewers
worldwide. But that’s only because chess is not the type of sport you
watch. It’s the type of sport you play. A 2007 FIFA report estimated
that 265 million people worldwide play soccer, the most of any
traditional “sport”. Well, sorry to spoil the party, but in a report to
the IOC, the World Chess Federation (FIDE) approximated that 605 million
people play chess. That’s almost three times as many people as soccer.
