About Us
64seven lets chess fans build fantasy teams with real players and follow tournament results. Instead of just watching games, you're cheering for specific players and invested in the outcomes.
We use platform revenue to organize high-level tournaments, creating a cycle where fan engagement directly funds more competitive chess. Simple concept: fans get more involved, players get more opportunities to compete.
What We Do

Leadership Team
GM Vasif Durarbayli
Co-founder & CEO
I'm Grandmaster Vasif Durarbayli. I competed professionally for years, including reaching the Top 16 in the FIDE World Cup, wrote "2021 in 52 Games", and coached players at all levels.
Chess tournaments need more fan engagement and better funding. 64seven solves both - fans get skin in the game through fantasy teams, and tournament organizers get a new revenue stream. It's straightforward business logic applied to chess.
Arman Tuganbaev
Co-founder & CTO
I'm Arman Tuganbaev, a full-stack developer with a mathematics background. I've built AI tools and now I'm applying that technical experience to chess.
The technical challenge is making fantasy chess work reliably at scale - accurate scoring, real-time updates, and handling tournament data from multiple sources. I handle the engineering so the platform actually works when people want to use it.
