Experiential Marketplace IfOnly Launches Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences with One of the Greatest Chess Players of all Time: Garry Kasparov

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IfOnly, an experiential marketplace that donates a portion of its proceeds to charities, has just launched experiences with one of the greatest chess players of all time. Garry Kasparov is more than a grandmaster competitor, he is also a best-selling author, political leader and global human rights activist whose opinions hold international import. For the first time ever, ultimate chess enthusiasts can face off against this grandmaster with three unique experiences.

On an ongoing basis, chess enthusiasts and fans alike can experience dinner and a private chess match with Garry. Spend an evening engaged in brilliant chess and conversation, photographs, and a trip down chess memory lane like no other. Those who have enjoyed Garry's company for a few hours will tell you it was one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.

Fans can also host a simultaneous chess exhibition (a "simul") in which participants will have the honor of facing off against Garry. He will move from board to board challenging up to 20 of your guest players at once, until only one is left standing against the chess genius. As a memento of this incredible experience, participants will have an opportunity for a photo and autograph from the chess star.

The last experience includes bringing one of the greatest thinkers in the world to your stage for a rousing and insightful keynote speech. Select a subject and Kasparov will tailor a speech for the occasion that will leave your audience both challenged and inspired. Drawing on a remarkable blend of anecdotes, analysis, and personal experience, Kasparov will engage your audience on topics ranging from leadership and strategy, to artificial intelligence and the complexities of life.

With the launch, IfOnly will become the exclusive platform for members to purchase these amazing experiences with Kasparov, following the recent launch of the IfOnly Poker category launched earlier this year with 7 top Poker stars.

Experiences of this nature start around $35,000 and vary greatly depending on dates, location and other details. For more information on IfOnly and its new offerings from Kasparov, please visit www.IfOnly.com.  To reach the IfOnly concierge please call 415-754-8167 or [email protected].
