When Chess meets Football ♟⚽

What can a football athlete and a chess player teach one another? The conversation between Magnus Carlsen and Christian Pulisic only shows that there are plenty of things that are relevant for both disciplines. When playing football or chess, it is important to avoid critical errors, think strategically, and make decisions quickly. We came together on a football field to discuss the similarities and differences between chess and football. Pulisic - “I am an attacking player who likes to be creative and to put defenders on their back foot. I like to be very aggressive and direct towards goals, so that's really my style”. Carlsen - “In chess, I am pretty universal, but definitely leaning towards positional rather than tactical play,”. #PUMA #ForeverFaster
