Web3 chess startup Immortal Game has raised $15 million, including a $12 million Series A this year. Crypto has its fair share of skeptics, but there's no arguing against the worldwide popularity of chess, according to Thomas Zaepffel, the cofounder and CEO of Immortal Game. Immortal Game, founded in March 2021 by Zaepffel, CTO David Cingala and COO Geoffroy Mestrallet, offers players the opportunity to earn crypto and sponsor up-and-coming chess talent.

Carlsen recently withdrew from an in-person event after losing to Niemann, with his only public comments coming in the form of a cryptic video of a European soccer manager. The chess world was quick to understand the implications of his unprecedented decision: Niemann faced widespread speculation that he is a cheater.
