Chess Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen Launches New App Take Take Take: A Game-Changer for Chess Fans
Chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen is making waves in the chess world once again, this time with the launch of his new app Take Take Take. In an exclusive interview with Euronews Next, Carlsen shared his vision for the app and how it aims to revolutionize the way people engage with the game.
Carlsen, who has been dominating the chess scene for years, expressed his desire to turn chess into a spectator sport through Take Take Take. Unlike other chess apps, this platform offers users daily tournament recap videos and analyses player performance during major tournaments, with Carlsen himself providing his expert analysis.
With a user-friendly interface, Take Take Take aims to be a “home” for the 600 million people who play chess worldwide, providing notifications when their favorite players have a game. Carlsen emphasized the importance of making chess more accessible to fans who may not always be following the chess scene closely.
The app, named after the back-and-forth exchanges of chess pieces, has already garnered attention from notable investors such as Peter Thiel and Breakthrough Initiatives fund. While the app will be free to use, there are plans to monetize it through advertisements and premium features.
This isn’t Carlsen’s first foray into the world of chess apps, as he previously launched Play Magnus, which allowed users to play against a bot version of him at different stages of his career. Despite his busy schedule as a professional chess player, Carlsen sees Take Take Take as a passion project that will only enhance his game.
In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, Carlsen highlighted the impact of AI on the game of chess. While AI has revolutionized the way players analyze games and improve their skills, Carlsen acknowledged that it has also posed challenges for professional players. However, he emphasized the importance of embracing technology to stay competitive in the chess world.
Overall, Carlsen’s new app Take Take Take represents a new chapter in the world of chess, bridging the gap between players and fans and showcasing the beauty and complexity of the game. With Carlsen at the helm, this app is sure to attract chess enthusiasts from around the world and elevate the sport to new heights.
