Amazon.com - Movers & Shakers

Here's something you don't see too often. Amazon has a link called Movers & Shakers, basically the top 3 items of each sales category. Under Toys and Games, the number one item today is the Deluxe Wood Chess Set (Sales Rank in Toys & Games: 201, formerly ranked at 13,379). Nothing wrong with chess, or that people probably buy more chess sets during the holidays because they're stuck indoors.. But for such a jump, I wonder if this is a technical glitch via Google search keyword or ad content network, or if really the company is truly moving a lot of chess sets this year.

Things like this make me wonder about the legitimacy of ranking, considering that for this particular product there are zero product reviews.
