Magnus vs Hikaru Blindfolded Chess Match

Following December’s announcement that Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Levy Rozman (GothamChess) will appear together publicly in Europe for the first time, BETBY has now confirmed a series of exclusive on-stage events that elevate the activation into a true once-in-a-lifetime moment.

The highlight will be an unprecedented blindfold exhibition match between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, a historic encounter that has never before taken place. The spectacle will be brought to life by Levy Rozman, whose distinctive commentary style has made him the world’s most influential chess entertainer. His live play-by-play will guide the audience through the extraordinary challenge of seeing two of the greatest minds in chess compete without sight of the board.
