Wall Street Gambit on December 29 fuses chess and finance with
speakers and opportunity to play chess legends
The 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships is taking
the fusion of chess and finance to the next level with the
introduction of Wall Street Gambit, a one-of-a-kind chess and
finance conference that’ll be held on Sunday, December 29, at
Cipriani 55 Wall Street.
Wall Street Gambit features an exceptional lineup of keynote
speakers and a unique opportunity to play blitz against legends
Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand and Fabiano Caruana, as well as a
tournament for attendees and a networking cocktail hour.
"I personally believe that chess and finance are very close to
each other, which is why we came up with the idea of a unique
conference, Wall Street Gambit,” said Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom
Holding Corp., the sponsor of the World Rapid & Blitz
Championship. “Our conference will provide a great opportunity to
exchange the secrets of decision-making as well as focus and
emotion management skills."
"This is going to be a unique event in so many ways. Top chess
grandmasters will gather at the financial heart of the world, and
what fascinates me is the enormous concentration of the sharpest
minds and the synergies that will be born," said Emil Sutovsky,
FIDE CEO. "I'm very much looking forward to an event that has
everything it takes to become a landmark, 'I-was-there' kind of
gathering."
This unique conference will bring together two of the world's
most challenging arenas—chess and finance—for a day of strategic
thinking, competition and high-level networking. Leading chess
grandmasters such as five-time World Chess Champion and highest
rated chess player of all time, Magnus Carlen, will be joined by
leading figures from the financial and tech worlds, including Boaz
Weinstein, D. Sculley and Kenneth Rogoff.
The day will begin with a chess tournament for the conference
participants, offering a chance to showcase their chess skills
while setting the tone for the insightful discussions ahead. After
the tournament, the conference will transition to keynote speeches
from some of the most influential names in chess, finance and AI,
who will explore the intellectual parallels between the worlds. D.
Sculley, CEO of Kaggle, will deliver a keynote titled "Predicting
in the Face of Incomplete Knowledge: Chess, Finance, and Other
Challenges for AI." Kenneth Rogoff, economist and chess
grandmaster, will speak on the topic "Chess, AI, and
Economics.”
