If you’re a true chess enthusiast, we’ve got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. 1000passions and Chess NYC invite you to play the most defining chess game of your life, as you pit yourself against the number-one ranked player in the world, Magnus Carlsen.

To say that Magnus is passionate about chess is almost an understatement. He’s been playing the game since he was five years old, becoming a Grandmaster at the tender age of thirteen. Two years ago, at age nineteen, Magnus became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked World Number One.

In this exclusive experience, Magnus will share his passion for chess directly with you. You’ll have the chance to play a 2-hour game together, with Magnus giving you his commentary and analysis all along the way. After the game, you’ll join Magnus for a private dinner where you can talk about all things chess, in a relaxed and more casual atmosphere. You’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a world class player, hearing the stories that have defined his career.

This experience will take place in NYC during the week of August 20, 2012, with six dates available. Don’t miss this chance to play chess with the undisputed best in the world!
