Custodian Inspires School Chess Teams in Maine.

David Bishop, a custodian and part-time chess coach, led his elementary and middle school teams to state championship titles in Maine, drawing comparisons to the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit." Nationwide, chess is riding a new wave of popularity, and it's not just because of the popular Netflix mini-series. Chess.com had 1.5 million daily users in February 2020, but it grew to 4.5 million by the end of 2020 and hit 10 million by January of this year. Chess is teaching students to think ahead, be strategic, and consider the ramifications of decisions.
