New Delhi, Apr 13 (BNP): The International Mind Sports Association (IMSA) has invited bids from India and other countries to host the next edition of the World Mind Games, which is expected to be held later this year or in early 2027.
The announcement comes amid the growing global popularity of mind sports, especially chess, which remains the most widely played discipline under IMSA’s umbrella.
India’s rising prominence in international chess has further highlighted its potential as a strong candidate to host the event. The country’s success has been shaped by legendary grandmaster Viswanathan Anand and continues today with a new generation of players, including R Praggnanandhaa, Arjun Erigaisi, and D Gukesh.
With increasing global interest in mind sports, IMSA’s invitation is seen as a step toward expanding the event’s reach and encouraging broader international participation.
