About Us

Built for players.
Driven by chess.

01 / Who We Are

A collective, not just an agency

Prime Chess Collective was founded with a clear conviction: the chess world is growing faster than ever, and the players driving that growth deserve representation that moves as fast as the game itself.

Founded by Jafar Reeves — chess journalist, media entrepreneur, and creator of Prime Chess Media — PCC was built on the relationships and access that a traditional agent simply can't offer. We've sat across from grandmasters, covered elite tournaments, and built a chess media platform from the ground up. We know the landscape because we live in it.

The Collective is player-first by design. No fees. No lock-in contracts. No pressure. We operate on commission — meaning we only make money when we make money for you. That alignment isn't a sales pitch. It's how the whole thing works.

"The players who build their brand now will be the ones brands come to first. We're here to make sure our players are always first in line."

02 / Core Beliefs

What we believe

Players First, Always

Every decision we make starts with one question: does this actually help our player? We will never push a deal that isn't right for your brand or your career — even if it costs us a commission.

Freedom Over Control

You are never locked in. If we're not delivering value, you walk — no penalty, no drama. That freedom forces us to keep earning your trust every single month.

Chess is a Global Brand

The post-Queen's Gambit world has made chess culturally relevant in a way it hasn't been in decades. The opportunity for players to build real commercial careers is here right now. We exist to make sure our players capitalize on it.
