Шахматы (=chess) это больше, чем просто игра.

Если искать научные работы по шахматам на порталах и в поисковых системах и вводить термин «шахматы», то будут отображаться тысячи и тысячи хитов. Какое отношение эти хиты имеют к поисковому запросу? Если присмотреться, то вы увидите, что появления обманчивы.

Наличие в тексте соответствующих терминов о шахматах/ chess достаточно, чтобы они появились в списках хитов. «Chess» — это также фамилия, которая встречается в США более 2000 раз (ссылка). Понятно, что авторы научных работ также носят название «шахматы».
