Chess is undergoing a revival. And chess legend Garry Kasparov hopes to keep it going with a new website he has started with Vivendi dubbed Kasparovchess.com.

The new website is a portal for all things chess, whose popularity has been juiced by the popular Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit, for which Kasparov is a consultant. The former World Champion Chess Master is launching the site today with all kinds of content for chess lovers of all skill levels. It includes thousands of chess puzzles, online matches, in-depth strategic and tactical tutorials, articles, documentaries, and an exclusive Master Class with Kasparov himself.
