I’m soon flying to Hong Kong for the World Rapid and Blitz Team Championship, where I’ll be playing for Hexamind alongside some legends of our game. This event is also memorable to me because it was there last year that I realized chess players need a mobile app like ChessMonitor. None of my teammates had a good app they could use to prepare during the breaks. We still have a long way to go, but what we’ve built so far is already a game changer. Players can instantly look up their opponents’ games (including games that finished just seconds ago!), use our database together with the latest Stockfish to prepare, and now even watch live games directly in the app, powered by Lichess. Download the ChessMonitor app on Google Play and the App Store.
