Why we're a game changer in the chess world
We are the advocates of the players. The chess world is expanding, more tournaments are created, and our sport is professionalizing. But who is taking care of the players? We do.
We take away your organizational headaches. Forgot to send in your travel receipts, or your invoice to the last tournament organizer? Booked a far too expensive flight since you were too late? Prize money not paid out in time? - This will never happen to you again.
Your commercial development should go hand in hand with your chess development. We actively coach you on sponsoring opportunities, playing fees, and everything needed to make chess a great job for you.
Communication is king — social media is queen. To become the next chess superstar, you should tell the world about what you are doing. We understand the algorithms, and take care of you in the jungle out there.
We act with values, and respect. We are always transparent, always nice, always responsive. There won't be a minute where you won't enjoy working with us.
