A Streamers Convention on the August Chess Life Front Cover

Our August edition of Chess Life is now available for members, and it features a cover for the ages to back up our cover story by IM Eric Rosen (now available for all to download and read!) on "The New Chess Boom." Created by artist Neil Jamieson with art direction by Frankie Butler, it features a lot of faces you might recognize, and some that you may not know unless you're a dedicated Twitch Fan. This article provides a key to everyone on the cover along with their Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram handles. 

But first, here is just a taste of some of the excitement the cover has already generated on Twitter and Instagram:
