About Us

I'm Grandmaster Vasif Durarbayli, a passionate chess professional who has dedicated his life to pursuing excellence over the board. Chess has been at the heart of everything I do — from competing at the highest level, including reaching the Top 16 in the FIDE World Cup, to writing my book "2021 in 52 Games", blogging, coaching aspiring players, and seconding elite grandmasters. Simply put, my life has been deeply connected to the game in every possible way.

I've also always believed that the chess community deserves more. With 64seven, I'm finally realizing my long-held ambition to innovate and transform the chess world.

This platform allows fans to invest in the success of their favorite players by selecting them for their fantasy teams. Participants don't just follow the games — they become part of the action, competing for prizes and sharing in their team's journey.

But my vision goes beyond fantasy chess. I aim to deepen the connection between fans and players, and to reinvest 64seven's success into organizing exciting, high-level tournaments. Through this platform, we're building a more engaged, interactive chess community — one that brings lasting value to everyone who loves this magnificent game.
