changing the chess narrative one challenge at a time
The game of chess has endured many centuries and remains one of the world's most respected games today. Chess is regarded as a game of intellectuals and chess players have continued to stand out from among their peers in areas including but not limited to strategic thinking, decision making, and overall intelligence.
The 64Spots Chess Challenge is designed to change this narrative with one challenge at a time
The 64Spots Chess Challenge (“64CC” or “The Challenge”) is a series of organized chess tournaments aimed to create a vibrant community of chess players. The players would be well profiled and would include professionals from all walks of life.
The platform would also promote networking and personal and corporate branding of players, sponsors and partners as all stakeholders would have the unique opportunity of further improving their fanbase and followership of their personal and corporate brands.
We hope to build an organized community of chess players, chess lovers and chess enthusiasts through periodic tournaments and organized meet ups where new chess talents are discovered and raw talents are groomed. We hope to have 1000 active members within the first 2 years of operation
1We would create an avenue for the marketing and growth of the personal and corporate brands of players, partners, sponsors and other stakeholders through effective networking and targeted publicity across diverse channels.
