Report by chessdom.com
Chess addict and top broker Mads Syversen became chess genius Magnus Carlsen's main sponsor. "Magnus is special. He represents the pinnacle of the analysis and implementation, he is ambitious and hard-working," says Mads Syversen, whose company logo will accompany Magnus Carlsen's outfit in the next 24 months.
The new sponsor company says Magnus will be a good example for the employees with his accuracy and performance and believes that the sponsorship will be a success for both sides.
The deal is for a 2 years period, as Magnus will receive 1 million kroner (175 000 dollars). So far the main income for Carlsen has been from prize funds. The company Magnuschess AS has reported 1,8 million kroner income in 2008, which is a large increase to the 40 000 reported in 2007.
