MLS-spiss Dejan Joveljić lanserer personlig sjakkbot på Chess.com

Dejan Joveljić, den serbiske spissen som nå spiller for Sporting Kansas City, har gjort sjakkferdighetene sine tilgjengelige for fansen gjennom en ny bot på Chess.com. Funksjonen lanseres i den siste uken av avstemningen til MLS All-Star, og fremhever spillerens doble styrker på både fotballbanen og sjakkbrettet.

Joveljić ble en del av Sporting Kansas City etter en imponerende periode i LA Galaxy, hvor han scoret 41 mål og avgjorde 2024 MLS Cup. Overgangen var bemerkelsesverdig som den første spillerhandelen for penger i ligaens historie, med en verdi på 4 millioner dollar. Utenfor banen har spissen opparbeidet seg en FIDE-rating på over 2200, og han nådde nylig 2215, noe som gir ham anerkjennelse som den sterkeste aktive sjakkspillende fotballproffen.
