Go is played a lot, chess is more western, i read a lot that only fifa has more members world wide, as in sports groups..
Membership varies by federation, but the US Chess Federation (USCF) has over 100,000 members (peaking around 112,000+ in recent years). Globally, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) tracks over 360,000 active tournament players, with hundreds of millions playing casually, but national bodies like USCF manage official ratings and events for their regions.
