Play Magnus Group, a global leader in the chess industry, today published its

grew by 123 percent year over year to USD 1.95 million and revenue grew by 112
percent to USD 1.98 million compared to Q3 2019. This was driven by 68 percent
growth in the number of monthly paying users and 24 percent growth in revenue
per paying user.

"We are a high growth company and Q3 confirms our ability to continue improving
our key metrics," said Andreas Thome, CEO of Play Magnus Group.

one year earlier. Average revenue per paying user was USD 14.4, up from USD 11.6
one year earlier.
