Chess speaks to society and speaks about society; it reflects its evolution. As a combination of Art, Science, and Sport, chess serves as a genuine social marker. Since the 6th century, it has reflected the evolution of global geopolitics and acted as a technological laboratory, particularly supporting the emergence of computing and artificial intelligence.
