Chess is one of the words that in every language a child knows one of the first words that they know.

So it's such a big market and such a big opportunity and potential and we are starting to lift it.

Do you consider chess a sport?

Yes, absolutely.

It's very, very demanding.

You have to be very fit physically and mentally because when you concentrate, think about just you concentrate for a long time, think you do an exam, like a really high exam and you're really exhausted.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're really tired after.

So this is your main focus right now, freestyle jobs?

Yeah, it's the main focus that we are doing right now since about one and a half years, my wife and I and all the team we brought together.

And so starting a new company again, I mean, I've done venture capital for 15 years myself, but now running this new startup again as a CEO is also kind of funny, starting it at 60, like being an entrepreneur again.

It's kind of funny.

But it's also very rewarding in a sense.

Yeah, because you already have a $10 billion exit.

Exactly.

You could have retired years ago.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, first of all, retiring, always I look at retiring like the next step to death.

So if you're not busy anymore, then you kind of let it down.

So I wrote a little booklet about it like seven times seven because I think you have like seven times seven years that you can basically be very active.
