PROFESSIONAL CHESS ASSOCIATION
WELCOME!
The Professional Chess Association, known as PCA, wants to take this opportunity to welcome chess players, entrepreneurs, companies, sponsors, partners, advertisers, and all other interested parties from around the world.
PCA is without a doubt the NEWEST, MOST DARING, EXCITING, and INCREDIBLE new professional sports organization ever to be launched!
There are an astounding 700+ MILLION active chess players in the world today.
700+ MILLION people with a common interest that has NEVER been touched by mainstream marketing, and is untainted by previous branding.
Steve Martin, CEO of M&C Saatchi Sports, (Saatchi & Saatchi is one of the largest advertising companies in the world) states that chess is the “sleeping giant” of the sports/entertainment world, adding that “It’s rare to get something so untainted by previous branding,” he said.
Chess is a brilliant game that offers so many positive elements. For example, many governments are now mandating that chess be part of the school curriculum in their respective countries. Numerous studies have indicated and proven that children who play chess are likely to achieve improved school marks. The game of chess also provides children with critical thinking and strategy skills as well as decision making abilities. Chess also instills a ‘winner’ mentality. From a health perspective, it is also generally recognized that playing Chess helps children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Autism. It even helps older people suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s .
Chess-related research and educational projects are currently ongoing in the United Kingdom, Spain, Turkey, Germany, and Italy, among other countries. The European Parliament has expressed its favourable opinion on using chess courses in schools as an educational tool and, similarly, the Spanish Parliament has approved the implementation of chess courses during school hours. Likewise, Armenia has initiated compulsory chess lessons in its school systems with tremendous results. These initiatives have been conducted because chess is considered an effective educational tool able to improve not only mathematical skills, but also other academic skills such as reading and general cognitive abilities such as concentration and intelligence. Critically, efforts to promote chess in schools take for granted that chess skill transfers to other domains. For a collection of studies confirming the positive effects of chess in education please go to the following link:
The Benefits of Chess in Education – Waterloo Regional Chess …
Please read this document. It is a fantastic endorsement of the benefits of chess and if you have children you will immediately enroll them in a chess program!
There are so many positive reasons why chess is so popular and highly regarded.
PCA NOW WANTS TO TAKE CHESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL AS A TRUE “PROFESSIONAL” SPORTS ORGANIZATION FOR CHESS PLAYERS OF ANY SKILL LEVEL!
Any company, or individual, who would like to join PCA as a PCA PRO PLAYER, a sponsor, an advertiser, promoter or partner, anywhere in the world, needs to contact us NOW!
Very seldom does an opportunity to reach such an incredible market of 700+ MILLION active chess players present itself. Particularly with a game that offers so many benefits to children and adults alike. The demographics of these 700+ MILLION chess players are astounding! Chess players are usually bright, intelligent, well educated and more often than not are the movers and shakers in the business world. The average income of chess players is $129,000 USD a year. They also love to spend on trips, luxury goods, and 87% of active chess players are university graduates. Compare this to golfers who earn on average $97,000 USD a year and only 67% of them are university graduates. (Source: Yougov report.)

Okay, back to PCA.
SIMPLY PUT, PCA IS A BRAND NEW SPORTS ORGANIZATION FOR THE 700+ MILLION ACTIVE CHESS PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD. PCA IS QUITE LIKELY TO GROW INTO THE LARGEST SPORTS ORGANIZATION OF ANY KIND.
IT STARTS RIGHT NOW! DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!
YOU ARE JUST ONE “CLICK” AWAY FROM BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL PCA PRO CHESS PLAYER!
As you are probably aware, tennis players, golfers, soccer players, basketball players etc., earn enormous sums of money from sports winnings, but in many cases, the majority of their income comes from endorsements.
Unfortunately, the same opportunity for most chess players does not exist. There is no organized ‘professional’ structure in place that provides opportunities for the 700+ MILLION chess players around the world to earn anywhere near the same amounts as players do in other professional sports.
Historically, there have been some small cash prize amounts for elite chess players, and some chess tournaments offer cash prizes to the elite players, but not on the same level as the other mainstream sports. It doesn’t even come close. There is virtually no opportunity for the 700+ million active chess players to earn or win anything.
PCA IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT!
Chess has been around for almost 2,000 years. It has remained one of the most popular games in the world and there is no doubt that chess will continue to be just as popular for another 2,000 years.
However, even though chess has an incredible 700+ million active participants, and chess was recently considered by the Olympic committee to become an Olympic sport, chess has remained under the radar compared to other professional sports such as golf, tennis, basketball and soccer!
This is why PCA the Professional Chess Association Ltd. organization was formed. The founders of PCA recognized the incredible marketing opportunity that these 700+ MILLION chess players offered.
We invite you ALL to become part of this extraordinary PCA Professional Chess Association. Join PCA NOW! Join us and enjoy working with an ever increasing number of amazing GLOBAL companies that are partners or already have working relationships with PCA!
PCA CHESS WILL NO LONGER BE IN THE SHADOWS OF OTHER SPORTS!
In order to bring chess out of the shadows of other mainstream sports, PCA has already successfully implemented a number of Marketing and Action plans.
STEP # 1. Dealing with the perception of chess by the mainstream media.
Mainstream media’s perception of chess is two people sitting opposite one another for a few hours and not really doing much of anything. While mainstream media understands that chess is a great game involving strategy and skill, it’s not really that exciting or entertaining to watch by the general public.
Well, PCA wants to change that perception. We want to keep the integrity of the game of chess, but we also want to create a media frenzy over Chess. We want to introduce ACTION INTO CHESS! We want chess to be a test of BOTH the MIND and the BODY! We want chess to be entertaining and fun for everyone, suspenseful, full of drama, excitement and a game that everyone will want to watch and be entertained by!
In order to change this perception in the mainstream media, PCA has created an exciting, ACTION packed DAILY NETWORK TELEVISION chess show called “CHESS WARS”. The show will be aired around the world on a daily basis through regular terrestrial broadcasting systems, digital platforms, mobile platforms and even through in-flight programming.
Now, while we are in the early pre-production stages of the television show”CHESS WARS”, we do not yet have any finished network footage to show you of a finished show. As soon as we do, we will post it here.
So, in the interim, and until we have finished producing some “CHESS WARS” shows, we are going to ask you to use your imagination.
We are going to show you a Youtube video (courtesy of Danny Rensch of Chess.com) of The world’s #4 chess player, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who takes on Chess.com’s Danny Rensch in a very fast, best of five, game of giant ‘bullet’ chess. — (who will be fast enough to manage these ridiculously sized pieces? At the end of the match the players are exhausted and the giant chess pieces are flying). Now this is fun chess!
Now, imagine an even larger 32′ X 32′ chess board with slightly larger chess pieces in a television studio with all the lights, music, host and beautiful hostess, and full network television production values. (24 broadcast cameras, slow motion, body cams, pencil cams etc.) Now you can start to have an idea of what “CHESS WARS” is all about.
Now, continue to use your imagination once again and see the two players playing the same game to win $1,000,000 USD CASH! THIS WILL BE FUN! FUN! FUN! This will be “CHESS WARS”, and can you imagine the CRAZY action when there is a $1,000,000 USD cash prize on the line?
NOW THIS IS EXCITING AND ENTERTAINING CHESS! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY, THEN JOIN PCA AND AUDITION FOR A PLACE ON THE “CHESS WARS” TELEVISION SHOW TODAY!
AUDITIONS ARE NOW OPEN
STEP #2 Making Chess a big money game for chess players of all levels.
Using their years of experience and business acumen, the founders of PCA organized and secured one of the LARGEST SPORTS CASH PRIZES ever offered in ANY sport.
On every “CHESS WARS” television show, contestants will have the opportunity to win up to $1,000,000 USD CASH plus dozens of other valuable prizes that include, trips, cars, boats, cash and much more. As its a game show, we do of course have to have the ‘booby’ prize!
BUT WAIT! It gets even better. In the “CHESS WARS” Tournaments, there will be a massive $40,000,000 USD in cash and prizes, plus another $5,000,000 in cash and prizes for audience members, your sponsors, and you as a registered PCA PRO PLAYER.
Both of these first two steps are NOW DONE! They are in place! NOW THE FUN AND THE ACTION STARTS!
This MASSIVE PCA prize structure is the largest prize ever offered in the history of ANY sport. It is also the largest prize total ever offered in the history of television game shows! The best part of these plans is that for the very first time in the 2,000 year history of CHESS, chess players, of any level, can win some of this massive prize structure. At the same time, through the television shows, chess players will enjoy incredible high profile, daily, mainstream media coverage around the world.
PCA IS PROVIDING MORE PRIZE MONEY TO CHESS PLAYERS IT’S FIRST SEASON THAN ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM SPORT IN THE WORLD! THERE IS AN ASTOUNDING PRIZE TOTAL OF
$250,000,000 USD IN CASH AND PRIZES
Also, and again, using all their years of experience as successful business persons involved in numerous global marketing projects, the founders of PCA are bringing an entirely new organizational and marketing approach to the 700+ million active chess players. It’s an approach that has never been seen, or even attempted before in the history of chess. It is an approach that will bring chess into the mainstream media and public consciousness as the newest and most exciting, world wide sports organization.
Many people will ask, how can PCA do this?
A classic example of how this can be done is exactly how “World Poker Tour” (WPT) developed POKER. This is a card game which is also a passive game. (Similar to chess in that it is a thinking and strategy game).
WPT grew from a simple idea into a $35 BILLION dollar world wide enterprise in just a few short years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Poker_Tour
Here is what happened. In 2002 a young California lawyer had the brilliant idea of making a television show about POKER. (Just like we are doing with Chess) To that point, POKER was typically played in the back rooms of bars and casinos. POKER actually had a somewhat negative reputation, and no one in mainstream media was interested in watching it or reporting on it. (Sound familiar?)
When the “World Poker Tour” television show was launched it became a global sensation, and now professional POKER is watched and played by tens of millions of people on a daily basis! The “World Poker Tour” television show brought the game of poker into the everyday public consciousness. (JUST LIKE WE INTEND TO DO WITH CHESS)
The WPT tournaments also incorporated another important element. This was a contestant “BUY-IN” business model. This is where players entering the tournaments “BUY-IN” at $2,500. $10,000, $25,000 or more per contestant. The players either paid the entry fee themselves or found a team of sponsors, or ‘backers’ to pay the “BUY-IN” entry fee. This provided huge monetary awards for the final players. (Just like we are doing for our “CHESS WARS” tournaments).
It is not unusual to see $5,000,000 USD, or more, on the WPT final table. These huge cash prizes make for exciting television. WPT introduced the right entertainment elements of drama, suspense, huge cash prizes and humor into POKER. The POKER players also developed ‘characters’ which in turn developed social media followings for the players. This attracted sponsors and advertisers for the players, and this is why WPT, and a lot of its players, are so successful.
PCA is going to do exactly the same for CHESS as WPT did for POKER.
The only difference is that there are 700 + MILLION ACTIVE CHESS PLAYERS.
PCA is ten thousand times larger than the number of active POKER players around the world. THIS IS WHY WE ARE SO EXCITED!
It means that we can offer cash prizes many times larger than WPT! It means that we can build the suspense, the drama, and build the ‘Characters’ that play in our television shows and tournaments. We want to bring our chess television shows and our chess tournaments to unbelievable levels of excitement! Our “CHESS WARS” shows will have all the entertainment values to attract world wide audiences, more PCA players, and fans.
The task of creating a hit CHESS oriented show was put to the founders of PCA, who happen to be very experienced television and film producers. Collectively, during their respective careers they have produced over 3,500 network television shows which have been sold around the world. On this project, they are working with some of the same people that worked on “AMERICAN IDOL”, “WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” and “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE”. Arguably three of the most successful shows in television history.
We have now created several different network television shows centered around CHESS. We will be introducing these new shows over the next number of years. All of these games are opportunities for PCA PRO PLAYERS to win big money.
THE FIRST NEW DAILY NETWORK TELEVISION SHOW WE HAVE CREATED IS CALLED.
“CHESS WARS”.
ITS AN ACTION PACKED SHOW, BUT WHAT MAKES IT REALLY UNIQUE IS THAT THE SHOW COMES WITH OVER $200,000,000 USD IN CASH AND PRIZES THAT CAN BE WON DURING ITS FIRST SEASON!
THAT’S RIGHT! $200,000,000 USD IN CASH AND PRIZES! The largest cash prize opportunity EVER offered in ANY sport, OR FOR THAT MATTER, IN ANY TELEVISION SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION!
( Just in case you are wondering how $200,000,000 in cash and prizes can be provided for the “CHESS WARS” television show, PCA has arranged an underwriting through an insurance broker that specializes in event prizes. Check out our SPONSOR page.)
AUDITIONS TO APPEAR IN THE “CHESS WARS” TV SHOW ARE NOW OPEN!
Through our daily internationally broadcast television shows, films, documentaries, cross promotions and tournaments, we are going to create “SUPER HERO’s” “FILM STARS” and “PERSONALITIES” of chess.
