In 2022, Pusilic was part of the Champions Chess Tour broadcast as he took on the Charity Chess Challenge. Tasked with playing against 10-year-old Magnus in the Play Magnus app, the soccer star had a great game against his tough opponent.

Most recently, Pusilic also met with GM Magnus Carlsen. As PUMA ambassadors, the players came together for a promotional campaign for the worldwide sports brand. While at it, they had the chance to share their mutual love for each other’s crafts and even played a game of chess.

Now it’s your turn to play chess against Christian Pulisic! Go to our Play Computer page and test your skills against the new bot.
