At Summit School of Chess, we are thrilled to witness the exciting developments in the world of chess, particularly the recent news of Fantasy Chess, an interactive platform founded by the legendary World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, securing $3 million in pre-seed funding. This milestone marks a significant step forward in making chess more engaging and accessible to a global audience.
The Rise of Chess Engagement
The investment led by SNÖ Ventures, Coatue, Breakthrough Initiatives, and Thiel Capital highlights the immense potential of chess as a spectator sport. Carlsen’s vision to elevate chess to the same level of excitement as major global sports resonates with our mission at Summit School of Chess. We are dedicated to broadening and developing chess as an art, recreation, and a significant element of community culture.
Chess Education and Community Development
At Summit School of Chess, we specialize in youth chess education in and around the Greater Denver Area of Colorado. We offer a variety of programs, including before/after school programs, online group lessons, monthly tournaments, summer camps, private lessons, and various chess events and programming. Our focus is on nurturing elementary-aged children, but we also cater to adult learners. Our aim is to develop cognitive thinking abilities, logical planning, and problem-solving skills through the game of chess.
A Shared Vision
The mission of Fantasy Chess to create a more immersive and rewarding experience for chess fans aligns with our own goals. We believe that by promoting chess and developing cognitive abilities, we can raise the self-esteem and confidence of our students both on and off the chessboard. Carlsen’s initiative to turn chess into a bigger spectator sport offers a unique opportunity for us to inspire our students and the broader community.
