Maybe I read this somewhere or perhaps somebody told me, but apparently more books are published under the letter "C" thanks to chess. Which is probably right considering the amount of printed matter that exist today under the subject of "chess". By sheer book count chess is arguably very popular.
Which made me wonder: what about online? How many blogs out there are about chess? Or news sites, e-zines, Facebook pages - basically, websites of any kind talking about chess? I don't know and I'm not inclined to find out any time soon. For imagine how much work that will take.
But I did find out the number of times in a month that "chess" is entered into Google by people searching for chess or anything related to chess.
6,120,000!
That's according to Google's Keyword Tool which actually also tells you the relevant search phrases containing "chess".
And who, you may ask, are the most avid seekers of all things chess? The Mongolians!
Now, 6M searches for chess might seem like a high number, but this doesn't even come close to "sex", at 338M searches, or "facebook" which comes in at a staggering 2.5 billion!

Apparently more books have been published on chess than on any other sport. :)
