SCROLL.IN - Nov 2 - After coming up with a suggestive and rather bizarre logo for the World Chess Championships, the organisers of the event have launched a dating app for chess players. In association with dating service app, Pure, World Chess have unveiled Mates, a mobile dating platform to help find "a chess playing partner near you." Users, by uploading their photo, can create a profile that will remain online precisely for an hour. If there's a "match," they can agree on a location to play chess. The profiles and conversations will disappear after an hour - a feature that Mates believes would motivate people to act quickly in order to meet for a chess date. The World Chess Championship is slated to take place at The College in Holborn, London, between the 9th and 28th of November.
