In honour of the World Championship match – Anand-Carlsen – CHESSBASE and the REMOTE CHESS ACADEMY have joined forces
to let you have fun, practice your chess and fight for great prizes!
The basis for success in chess is to keep the right balance between learning, practice and fun. During the WC match, which started on November 9th, 2013 and which will be broadcast in detail here on playchess.com, you will have the opportunity to learn a lot by watching the games and listening to the commentators in various languages. Without doubt, you will have plenty of fun watching both players fight for the highest honour in the game.
