magnus carlsen

where Homer's chess history is revealed.[590] In 2020, Carlsen announced that he had signed a two-year sponsorship deal with gambling company Unibet to act as a "global ambassador".[591] Unibet parent company Kindred Group is also a sponsor of Offerspill Chess Club. Offerspill was founded by Carlsen in 2019 after the Norwegian Chess Federation turned down Kindred's sponsorship offer. It is now Norway's largest chess club; Carlsen is its current chairman.[592] In April 2022, the Kindred Group (through Unibet) extended its partnership with Carlsen for another two years, and also extended its sponsorship of Offerspill.[593]

In December 2024, Carlsen became the official chess ambassador for the Esports World Cup, an esports tournament series that takes place in Saudi Arabia, as part of the introduction of chess in the 2025 edition.[594]

Play Magnus
Main article: Play Magnus Group
In October 2013, Carlsen co-founded a company, Play Magnus AS, with Espen Agdestein and Anders Brandt.[595] Based in Oslo, Norway, Play Magnus' first product was an iOS app, called Play Magnus, that allows the user to play a chess engine created using a database of thousands of Carlsen's recorded games from the age of five and up. Carlsen stated he wished for the app to encourage more people to play chess.[596][597]

In March 2019, Play Magnus AS merged with chess24.com, consolidating into the Play Magnus Group.[598] On 8 October 2020, Play Magnus Group was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Magnus Chess, an entity controlled by Carlsen and his family, then owned 9.5% of Play Magnus Group.[599]

In August 2022, Chess.com finalised an offer of acquisition for Play Magnus Group, which officially closed on 16 December 2022. As part of the acquisition, Carlsen signed as a brand ambassador for Chess.com.[600][601][602]

Take Take Take
In October 2024, Magnus Carlsen cofounded Take Take Take. It was the first app in Chess World which offered text-based commentary to fantasy chess, from live games to post-game recaps, and from challenges to some app exclusive content.[603] Take Take Take then partnered with Chess.com to jointly organise Champions Chess Tour Finals in December 2024.[604]

Personal life
As of 2016, Carlsen identifies as a social democrat and mostly follows a vegetarian diet; two of his sisters are vegetarians.[605]

Carlsen is an avid football fan, with Real Madrid CF as his favourite club. In recognition of becoming world chess champion, he took the honorary kick-off in a La Liga game between Real Madrid and Real Valladolid on 30 November 2013.[606] Carlsen also follows the Premier League and plays fantasy football. In December 2019, he reached the No. 1 spot on a Fantasy Premier League game, ahead of seven million other players, before eventually finishing the season in 10th place.[607][608]

Carlsen has been in a relationship with Ella Victoria Malone since at least February 2024. In early January 2025, it was announced that they would be getting married during the first weekend of the month in a private ceremony.[609][610] The wedding ceremony took place at Holmenkollen Chapel in the Vestre Aker borough of Oslo, Norway, on 4 January 2025.[611][612]

In May 2025, Carlsen announced that he and Ella are expecting their first child.[613] On 27 September, Ella gave birth to a boy.[614]
