We have a five-day tournament and we had a one-day pre-tournament with the Chesterville.
Yesterday was a day off.
Today is a media day.
Then we have the five-day tournament.
We actually turned it down from eight days.
It was before, now it's five days.
Wow.
What was the inspiration for this?
I know you started this with Magnus, and it's a really unique concept, right?
Yeah, I mean, the whole idea came out of my head, like a lot of things in my life, and then somehow it escalates, you know?
So it was just an idea to improve my chess, and here I am now doing all these tournaments.
Yeah.
And it's a very unique.
So basically, could you explain it?
You start with a randomized board, right?
Yeah.
So the way actually it started is basically I just turned 60 last year.
And I started my career in the 80s with mobile communications.
And then I went on to online services and venture capital.
And then I went back to Germany 20 years ago.
