between League of Legends and online chess in which there are the most players?

I was chatting with a friend, who didn't know what chess was, I told him that there are more players who play chess online than fortnite or Lol (League of Legend), he didn't believe me, this is true? or did I tell him wrong information ?

i don't' know

@ajjjedrez if you count ALL the online chess sites, then yes

League of Legends has a playerbase of 115,000,000 players, and online chess has way less.

There were an estimated 605 million adults who play chess regularly[1`].
There were about 350 million registered Fortnite users on May 2020[2]. The highest monthly Fortnite user count was 78.3 million, as of March 2021[3].
League of Legends has 115 million monthly players, as of 2 May 2021[4].

TL;DR: No, you were (probably) right, depending on FIDE's definition of "regularly".
