Vel, Magnus - han er konge - ingen tvil om det! Men for meg er aksjen litt snever, den dagen han ikke er verdensmester lenger ... Håper jo ikke det skjer før han eksempelvis når Vishy Anands alder, men i sjakkbransjen (også) er det en MEGET kompetitiv ulveflokk som jakter etter. Er selv i glad i sjakk, men må antagelig være verdens LAVEST ratede spiller, var i god (?) voksen alder med på en (klassisk) turnering i Drammen i regi av Konnerud, og noen få hurtigsjakkpartier (laveste nivå) på NTG i Bærum med Agdestein (hvem ellers?) som maestro/turneringsleder. Vel, beklager nostalgien, ønsker selvfølgelig selskapet det aller beste!

Snever og snever. .. Synes selskapets første kvartalspresentasjonen som børsnotert onsdag var ganske så overbevisende.

For all del, og uttrykket mitt var muligens litt feil (ikke uvanlig). Men, kanskje det blir sjakkens Kahoot!?

Der er vanligvis høy betalingsvilje når det gjelder lidenskap/hobby/fritid, blant de som har betalingsevne. Slik jeg ser det, er det nå å håpe at Play Magnus hånd i hånd med egenutvikling kjøper (billig) opp det som er verdt å kjøpe, før dette markedet forhåpentligvis tar av og kommersialisering også av sjakksporten finner sted. CEO Thome sa under presentasjonen onsdag at man har god oversikt og innsikt når det gjelder landskapet og hva som er interessant for Play Magnus og at man i den forbindelse er i konkrete samtaler med noen aktuelle kandidater. Akkurat her og nå er jo det morsomste at Champions Chess Tour starter søndag med Skilling Open! TV2 Sport 1 søndag 17:30.

Magnus Carlsen
Interview
Magnus Carlsen: 'Chess has not been very kind to women over the years'
Archie Bland
The world champion has praised Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit and thinks it would be close if he played the fictional Beth Harmon
Sat 21 Nov 2020 08.00 GMT
On his Instagram feed, Magnus Carlsen imagined a photoshopped match against Beth Harmon, the fictional heroine of Netflix’s smash hit chess series The Queen’s Gambit. “I think it would be close,” he wrote.
In reality, Carlsen stands alone at the top of the global game, the unrivalled great of his generation. But he says there is no reason a real world Harmon could not one day succeed him – if a game with a notoriously chauvinistic history can become more hospitable to its prospective female superstars.
“This is a problem that’s been around in chess for a long time,” the Norwegian said in a Zoom interview. “Chess societies have not been very kind to women and girls over the years. Certainly there needs to be a bit of a change in culture.”
Carlsen said that such a change would be a “massive job” and suggested that at the moment girls’ enthusiasm for the game is being dampened. “There isn’t so much of a difference between boys and girls,” he said. “Purely the difference is later on.”
