The talking heads undermine the message with things like (paraphrasing) "if you saw pictures of me way back when, you would be unsurprised that I was in the chess club."
Chess is fun, i have some videos on the matter.
Why on earth does every chess documantary include the Botez sisters, when there are sooo many serious chess players out there?

No one is trying to claim they’re the best chess players; they’re entertainers and their chess-based content has helped grow the game.

they are talking about the popularity of the game, and those two are some of the most popular. Not hard to understand
There are not an infinite amount of chess moves. Most positions in chess have somewhere between 6 and 40 possible moves. Some have as few as one, I am not sure what the maximum could be but doubt it could be more than 60.

And when these moves compound after each turn the number of possible positions is greater than the number of atoms in the universe.

I’d rather play Xiangqi. Much cooler and far better game.
Isn't playing chess 'acting white'?

Why not both? They're both equally complex and challenging in their own right. Both equally fun as well.
