Carlsen’s SG Alpine Warriors are among the top-performing teams in the league. In what is a chess carnival in Dubai, Carlsen has been having an enjoyable time and believes the tournament is a great promoter of the sport, bringing it to a new level.

In what is a chess carnival in Dubai, Carlsen has been having an enjoyable time and believes the tournament is a great promoter of the sport, bringing it to a new level.

This Chess League is a team event featuring the best chess players in the world competing in six teams from June 22 to July 2.

Carlsen, who is 32, has three ace teenagers in his team – all from India, Gukesh D, Arjun Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa.

Carlsen and the 17-year-old Praggnanandhaa have sat across the table a fair few times in the recent past. Given his iconic profile in chess and lead playing role in the team, Carlsen was asked about how he supports his team given his status.

The league is unique because it introduces the franchise format to the sport of chess and makes the game more appealing to the broader audiences, which Carsen finds very important.
