chess24.com was an Internet chess server in English and ten other languages, established in 2014[1] by German grandmaster Jan Gustafsson and Enrique Guzman.[2][3] Chess24 also provided live coverage of major international chess tournaments, and hosted their own online tournaments, including the Magnus Carlsen Invitational.
In March 2019, chess24 merged with Magnus Carlsen's company Play Magnus AS in a transaction that made the former chess24 owners the largest shareholders in Play Magnus.[3][4] In 2022, Play Magnus was purchased by Chess.com, which made Chess.com the owner of chess24.
In December 2023, the chess24 team announced that they will be closing their site and apps by the end of January 2024.[5]
The website officially closed down on January 31, 2024, and its address began redirecting to the Chess.com news page.
