Six months after the World Chess, the official tournaments that determine the world champion announced a new IPO on Algorand which will leverage the blockchain further to develop a new gaming opportunity for millions of players. The integration of the Algorand blockchain network will include rewards and incentives for the entire community. The CEO of World Chess Ilya Merenzon said:

Hikaru Nakamura, the top-ranked chess player in the world and five-time US Chess champion agrees. During the pandemic, Nakamura turned to novel ideas to popularize the sport and to use different streaming services such as Twitch. World Chess hosted a virtual game on June 17^th where the youngest player Sergey Karkajin and Cryptographed Algroand Founder Silvio Micali, faced off in a match.
