Langsjakk blir vel for spesielt interesserte ? Jeg synes iallfall at de hurtigsjakkturneringene de har kjørt er kjekke å se på . Er uansett enig i at de ikke akkurat er konkurspriset

colzjek · mars 17, 2021, 11:40am

Ja, spesielt VM øvelsene i lyn-og hurtigsjakk har jeg også hatt glede av å følge. Men alle disse digitale sendingene på alle slags mulige turneringer har jeg ikke fått spesielt taket på. Nå vil jeg tro at det finnes muligheter i å få vanlige sjakkinteresserte/spiller over på digitale lærings/streaming-plattformer, men jeg lurer bare på hvor den generelle veksten for sjakk skal komme fra? For meg blir sjakk litt som langrenn, jeg ser ikke helt hvor veksten på lang sikt skal komme fra når de som er vokst opp med de respektive grenene byttes ut med dagens ungdom.

En vekst i antall betalende abonnementer på 89% Y/Y (23400 ->44300), økt guiding for 2021 fra 14-16 M USD til 19-21 M USD for 2021, og opprettholder mål om 60 M USD innen 2025 burde vel fint kunne forsvare en MCAP på langt mer enn 1,3 milliarder?

Ifølge 20Q4 presentasjon er det 650 millioner sjakk spillere (minst 1 gang per år). Riktignok er ikke alle like aktive, men 44300 betalende brukere er bare 0,0068 % av dette. Med ny guiding 19-21 M USD kalkulerer de med en økning i antall spillere på 100-125% Y/Y, altså 88600-99675 betalende spillere i 21Q4. For å nå mål på 60 M USD innen 2025 trenger de “bare” å oppnå ~1,1 millioner spillere, 0,167% av alle spillere globalt. Dette burde være fullt mulig tror nå jeg.

Vi får se på neste kvartalsrapport hvordan de ligger an ift guiding i økt antall spillere.

colzjek · mars 17, 2021, 1:17pm

Som sagt, jeg er ikke innsatt i dette, men hvorfor er det så stor forskjell i revenue pr. user fra 21 til 25? Ser de for seg å senke prisene så kraftig?

Christian · mars 17, 2021, 1:18pm

Differensiert prising utfra region kanskje?

colzjek · mars 17, 2021, 1:29pm

Ah, ikke dumt poeng. Det vil da si at de estimerer at veksten hovedsakelig vil skje i land med lav betalingsvilje? Eller? Men de har vel en del andre inntektskilder også? Som mediarettigheter? Hvis den også forventes å vokse, vil jo regnestykket bli enda dårligere pr. bruker.

Play Magnus Group (PMG) - Advancing Gender Equality In Chess With The New Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour

21.3.2021 12:00:01 CET | Play Magnus AS | Non-regulatory press releases

(Oslo, 21 Mar 2021) - Chess legends Judit Polgar and Vladimir Kramnik have
…

Vis børsmeldingen

joined forces with Play Magnus Group to launch a new online tour designed to
promote young talent and advance gender equality in chess.

The Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour will feature some of the world’s top
young male and female talent and is designed to address the lack of gender
diversity in the sport head-on. According to FIDE, only 37 of the 1 735
international chess Grandmasters are women - but there is reason to feel
encouraged: whereas in 2001 women accounted for only 6% of internationally rated
players, today that number has surpassed 15%.

“For too long men have dominated the entries into top chess events. Not any
more,” says Judit Polgar. The Hungarian Grandmaster, considered the strongest
female chess player in history, remains the only woman to ever break into the
top 10 global standings.

The new Tour will feature 20 players divided into two teams captained by Kramnik
and Polgar along with a coaching staff that includes the current top-rated
female player, Hou Yifan, the reigning Women’s World Champion, Ju Wenjun, and
four other esteemed players and coaches.

Kramnik, who snatched the title of World Champion from Garry Kasparov at the
turn of the century, believes the Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour will
feature many of the future chess elite in action.

“It is very special and meaningful to me that after many years and face-to-face
battles across the chess board, Judit and I will be competing again as our teams
go up against each other, helping the new generation of chess players reach the
top,” says Kramnik.

The new Tour starts on April 8th and includes four tournaments leading up to a
final which takes place from September 9th to 13th. The players will be
competing for a prize pool of $100,000, as well as educational prizes and
experiences.

The winner of each tournament in the Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour will
also earn a wildcard invitation to the next Meltwater Champions Chess Tour
event, where they will get the opportunity to advance their game by competing
against World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and other top players.

Julius Baer, the Swiss private bank that also supports the Meltwater Champions
Chess Tour, is this new Tour’s title partner. Larissa Alghisi Rubner, Chief
Communications Officer, Bank Julius Baer, said: “We are thrilled by this concept
and fully support both advancing gender equality in chess and supporting rising
stars in the game.”

On 26 January 2021, Play Magnus Group announced Judit Polgar would join the
company as Educational Ambassador to promote chess in education and gender
equality in the sport.

“Play Magnus Group and I are building a platform for young talent to bring the
next generation of elite players into the spotlight. The Julius Baer Challengers
Chess Tour will be full of drama and exciting chess. We hope you tune in to
watch it!”

Chessable and chess24 enter historic partnership with FIDE

19.4.2021 11:44:43 CEST | Play Magnus AS | Non-regulatory press releases

(Oslo, 19 April 2021) - Chessable has signed a historic global partnership
…

Vis børsmeldingen

agreement with FIDE, the International Chess Federation, making it one of the
sponsors for the World Chess Championship cycle, the Olympiad, and the World
Rapid and Blitz. Sister company chess24 acquires broadcast rights for top FIDE
events from 2021 until 2026.

Chessable, the world’s leading chess E-learning platform, has entered into a
six-year commercial sponsorship of the chess world championship cycle,
strengthening the brand’s position as the preferred E-learning choice among
chess fans and top players alike by partnering with the International Chess
Federation. The agreement covers different areas, including youth programs,
professional chess, and broadcast rights for top events, but also education and
social activities.

Chessable CEO David Kramaley: “We see great potential in helping to realize the
chess world championship cycle for the hundreds of millions of chess fans in the
world. Since 2015, Chessable has communicated a love of science-backed learning,
celebrating chess education and curiosity. The chess world championship cycle is
the perfect fit for this concept, as it showcases the world’s best players, many
of whom are already published Chessable authors, playing for the ultimate title,
showing what they know.”

In addition to sponsoring the chess world championship cycle, Chessable will
partner with FIDE for a new chess talent development program, the FIDE Chessable
Youth Development Fund, to which it will contribute $150,000 annually. The
agreement is part of Chessable’s global growth strategy and another step in its
mission to make chess a sustainable career choice for all.

FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich: "We are extremely proud to be able to create
new opportunities for the chess youth of the world through this new talent
development program in partnership with Chessable. We hope it will help foster
many new champions and attract many new young people to the game.

Such a long-term partnership shows a strong commitment and a shared vision
between both parties. The agreement will allow FIDE to grow and plan for the
future, strengthening different areas. It contributes to consolidate our top
events even further, and many social projects as well as the chess in schools
programs are about to take off. Chess is a great game to learn for any child,
and has a proven track record of improving children’s cognitive and educational
skills."

Since launching in 2014, chess24 has demonstrated its continued commitment to
promoting chess. It was the first international chess company to take chess
broadcasting to a worldwide audience and it continues to innovate in this field.
With this agreement, chess24 will become one of the broadcast partners for the
world chess championship cycle as well as major FIDE events such as the World
Rapid & Blitz, World Cup and Chess Olympiad.

Chess24 CEO Gerald Tan: “Broadcasting and commentating on chess tournaments have
always been core to our activities and passion at chess24. Over the last year,
we have made significant strides in developing new ways to bring chess to a
wider audience with our Champions Chess Tour broadcasts and are excited to apply
our insights to the World Chess Championship broadcast in 2021 and beyond.”

The partnership becomes effective immediately, and this means Chessable is one
of the sponsors of the Candidates Tournament that resumes today in
Yekaterinburg.
