Trent Alexander-Arnold on his love for chess: 'It helps me relax and forget  about football'

 

On October 8th, in Manchester, England, the Liverpool star will have his big rendezvous with Carlsen.

The Norwegian Carlsen thinks he can breeze past the ‘Melwood Grandmaster’ Alexander-Arnold, the Liverpool star, but Alexander has other plans.

 

Alexander-Arnold will be trained by two young chess superstars thanks to Kaspersky Lab. “Chess, like football, is all about strategy and skill,” the chess grandmaster remarked.

The art of attacking at the right times while maintaining a careful check on your defenses. Like players, the pieces have distinct roles, locations, and attributes; to achieve a goal, you must know how to utilize them optimally.

 

I leaped at the opportunity when Kaspersky Lab approached me. Although football has always been my first love, I have also always enjoyed playing chess.

This is a relief for me. Even though Ben is currently in Sheffield, we still manage to fit in our regular bouts, and I’ve been playing since I was a kid.

 

“I believe I can surprise people with the help of Kaspersky Lab, but Magnus will be a tough test.”

Shreyas Royal (age nine) and Kyan Bui (age twelve) are Alexander-mentor Arnold’s.

 

I am cоnfident in helping Trent shоck Magnus, even if he is ten years my seniоr,’ cо-cоach Shreyas said via his father, Jitendra Singh.

I can see that his chess abilities are on par with his football abilities, and I can’t wait to collaborate with him in the hopes that we can surprise the “unbeatable” Magnus Carlsen.

From November 9th through the 28th, Carlsen will defend his world title in a 12-game match against American Fabiano Caruana in London.
