After the popularity from Netflix’s hit series Queen’s Gambit one TikToker noticed there was a lack of chess content on the beloved app and thus, ChessTok was born. James Weber has gained over 107 thousand followers and his TikTok features videos of him helping his followers with chess tips, as well as funny chess skits.
