A Netflix period drama that debuted in late October. ‘Ever since The Queen’s Gambit launched, our chess sales have increased triple digits,’ marvels Elizabeth LoVecchio, vice-president of marketing at Spin Master. The huge toy company has a division of classic games — such as chess, checkers, and backgammon — that owns about 70% of the market share in the United States.”
