Lausanne served as the venue for a significant development in the global sports community, where the International Chess Federation became a member of the International World Games Association. This move marked the inclusion of mind sports into the broader World Games framework, highlighting the growing recognition of intellectual competitions alongside physical sports. The event took place at the Olympic Museum, reinforcing the city’s status as a major hub for international sports organisations. This development also strengthens chess’s global profile and aligns it more closely with other internationally recognised sporting disciplines.
