News and content
A great way of following chess games:
- Chess board with arrows, analysis, and emojis (if you want them)
- Text commentary by a chess expert
- Highlights, including blunders, great moves, opening played, time trouble, and more
- Evaluation bar showing who has the best position
- Arrow showing the best move in every position
- Time situation for both players and time spent per move
- Polls and reactions to interact with other viewers
- Photos and videos of the players
- Game summary
- Last but not least: Get notified whenever there’s something exciting happening, so you don’t have to follow the game for 5 hours straight.
Coming soon: Play Guess the Move and Fantasy Chess on top of the games you are watching.
We have three categories for players on our favorites list:
Top players - men and women
Content creators
We’ve added several players from each category, and so far we’ve focused on the most relevant ones. But we haven’t added everyone yet and there are many more coming soon!
If there’s a player you want to follow, feel free to reach out to us and we might add them in the app! Especially if it’s likely that they’ll play many of the top tournaments we cover in the app (see our definitions above).
Magnus is the co-founder of Take Take Take and an active contributor. As the huge sports fan he is, he has a vision of making chess more of a spectator sport, similar to many of the other major global sports. He is a board member, and takes part in everything from strategy and product development to content creation and marketing.
We only cover top tournaments, which we define as more than 50% of the players being rated above 2700. For Women’s tournaments, more than 50% have to be rated above 2500. The reason we only follow top tournaments is that we want to make sure it’s easy for you to find the most relevant events, and make the experience of following those tournaments as good as possible.
There is however one exception, being tournaments where the top chess content creators are playing (an example is the Levy vs. Pia match). We follow content creators because they have a big fan base and help grow the game. If they play in open tournaments we only follow their games, and not necessarily the whole tournament.
We might expand to follow even more tournaments in the future.
You can view all the upcoming events in our expanded calendar view. You can also use the calendar on the home screen to see if anything is happening today or the next few days. And as long as you remember to follow your favorite players, you’ll be notified when they play regardless of the calendar!
It is generated by human chess experts who provide their insight, explanations, and opinions on the games. For some events you can get commentary in several languages.
We usually only cover one game at the time, so if it’s a tournament with many players and games, we will follow the most interesting game in each round with commentary (usually meaning the top game).
Not yet, but we are working on this as well. It’s likely we’ll have it within the end of 2024.
Yes! A web platform is in the making, and coming soon. Nevertheless, we’d recommend using the app to get the full experience.
