Happy New Year! Ring in 2024 with New Year’s resolutions, new chess goals, and a brand-new set of bots for January. For the first time ever on Chess.com, the 16th undisputed World Chess Champion and number-one player in the world since 2011, GM Magnus Carlsen, is available on our Play Computer page.

Play Against Magnus

Play against him and four other limited edition Magnuses this month revolving around some of his New Year’s resolutions. Magnus is going to take better care of himself and get more sleep, be outdoors and relax more, stay active and play sports, learn how to cook, and be a better Magnus in 2024.

This is your chance to win a game against Magnus while he focuses on other goals. But the question is: How distracted does Magnus need to be for you to defeat him this month?
