FREESTYLE CHESS G.O.A.T. CHALLENGE 2024 TRAILER



WEISSENHAUS PRIVATE NATURE LUXURY RESORT


Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T. Challenge


LEGACY OF MAGNUS CARLSEN

Magnus Carlsen, the World Chess Champion from 2013 to 2023, introduced a unique
competition format specifically for the WEISSENHAUS Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T.
Challenge.

In this context, “G.O.A.T.” in Chess refers to a player who achieved the
historically highest peak ELO rating, exemplified by Magnus Carlsen’s rating of
2882.

The objective is to elevate chess into an appealing, intellectually stimulating,
and captivating sport for a broader audience, targeting a new demographic of
spectators and consumers. The event is hosted at the prestigious WEISSENHAUS
Private Nature Luxury Resort, known for hosting the G7 Foreign Minister summit
in 2022.

The primary focus of the competition is on showcasing the personalities and
extraordinary skills of Super Grandmasters, with Magnus Carlsen himself
handpicking seven world-class challengers. This innovative approach aims to
attract a younger audience of high-potential individuals who have a general
interest in sports, catering to enthusiasts from around the globe.
