OFFICIAL FULL VIDEO! World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen finally plays Knight Runner. Can YOU do better than the World Champ?

“I’ve always done things a little differently. That is what inspired me. Chess has always been fun, but this takes learning and training chess to a new level. Knight Runner is chess training for everyone!”
— Magnus Carlsen

“Horrifically enjoyable, like Candy Crush meets Super Mario on a chessboard.”
— Frankie Butler, Creative Lead, Play Magnus Group

“The app is sheer fun to play, teaches you how all the chess pieces move, and trains you to think many moves ahead on the board. You will master maneuvering the trickiest chess piece – the Knight – and exercise your ability to solve problems under time pressure.”
— WGM Olga Dolzhikova

Knight Runner is a NEW chess puzzle-adventure game – a mashup of Chess, Super Mario and Candy Crush. It’s a free-to-play and ad-free platform game based on chess mechanics. You take the role of a chess knight and merrily jump in L-shape across exotic locations presented as game levels. For example, in India, the story’s starting point, you get to witness such iconic venues as the Taj Mahal, Harmandir Sahib, Mahabodhi, and many more. Your goal is to visit all the featured locations via special portals and rescue all the fellow pieces held captive by villains before time runs out. Get hyped to travel through India, the USA, Iceland, Norway…and even the Future! The starting number of levels is 50. Naturally, you can expect new worlds and levels to be added in the upcoming updates.

No prior chess knowledge required, but you may unwittingly pick up the rules of the game anyway!

Download today, have some fun, and train your brain!

FROM AN AWARD-WINNING TEAM
The Knight Runner app team has been featured on The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Business Insider, Fast Company, The Guardian, and Norwegian newspapers such as VG and DB. The team is also behind the famous Play Magnus, Magnus Trainer, and Tactics Frenzy chess apps. The team has won several design awards throughout the years.

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.

♘ Chess Quotes

“Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you to think before grabbing and to think just as objectively when you’re in trouble.”
by Stanley Kubrick
