The world of chess; the realm or domain encompassing chess players, competition, and all chess-related activities.
From chess + -dom (a suffix meaning 'domain' or 'realm,' from Old English -dom); modeled on words like 'kingdom' and 'Christendom.'
Chessdom created its own distinct culture with super-GMs as celebrities—in Iceland, chess champions are treated like rock stars and children memorize games the way Americans memorize football plays.
