Exciting New Addition to Titled Tuesdays: Chess Prophet Fantasy Game Launches!

Chess.com has just upped the ante for Titled Tuesdays with the launch of the new Titled Cup, a $100,000 grand prix-style event set to make the weekly tournaments in 2024 even more intense. But that’s not all – now fans can get in on the action with a new game that promises to take the excitement to the next level.

Partnering with GM Magnus Carlsen’s Fantasy Chess venture, Chess.com has introduced Chess Prophet, the first fantasy chess game for Titled Tuesdays. This new game allows fans to play alongside the action, predict outcomes on the first nine boards, compete with friends, and win prizes along the way.

Carlsen, known for his success in fantasy sports, is bringing his expertise to Chess.com with the launch of Chess Prophet. The game will be a key feature of Titled Tuesday broadcasts in 2024, starting on January 2 with the first Titled Cup event of the year.

Chief Chess Officer IM Danny Rensch expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We’ve been excited to explore fantasy chess games for many years now, and we think partnering Chess Prophet with the inaugural Titled Cup is perfect. Now there’s even more ways for the community to enjoy its favorite weekly event every Tuesday!”

Playing Chess Prophet is simple yet challenging, with players earning points in each round and competing with friends for fame and unique prizes. The top-20 results throughout the year will be counted as total points, with the opportunity to meet and play against some of the world’s best players for the league winner.

In addition to Chess Prophet, Fantasy Chess is working on a new, wider fantasy game app expected to launch later in 2024. The excitement is building, and fans can sign up for early access to Chess Prophet in mid-January at fantasychess.app/prophet.

With the launch of Chess Prophet, the stakes are higher than ever for Titled Tuesdays. Don’t miss out on the chance to test your skills, compete with friends, and win prizes in this exciting new fantasy chess game.
