World Chess Plc

("World Chess" or the "Company")

Strategic Partnership with TipRanks
 

London, August 2025 - World Chess plc (LSE:CHSS), the international chess
organisation and media platform that has helped redefine how the game is
played, broadcast, and experienced around the world, is pleased to announce a
strategic partnership with TipRanks, the global investment research platform
aimed at retail investors.

The move marks the official entry of TipRanks into the global chess space, a
sport with a vast and passionate audience that values strategy, foresight, and
analytical thinking. TipRanks becomes one of the first major financial brands
to engage meaningfully with the chess world.

The partnership introduces TipRanks as a featured presence across World
Chess's TV broadcasts, digital ecosystem, and tournament coverage. It will
include branded content during online events, integration into worldchess.com
(the official gaming platform of the International Chess Federation (FIDE),
and original editorial and educational segments tailored to chess audiences.
Additional campaign elements  including ambassador-led initiatives and
content collaborations with prominent chess figures  will be rolled out in
the coming weeks.

"Chess is massive - followed by millions and growing fast - but it's remained
an under-developed space for major partnerships. That's why this moment
matters," said Uri Gruenbaum, CEO of TipRanks. "TipRanks is proud to be one of
the first financial companies to enter the chess world at scale. Chess players
are disciplined, analytical, and global - exactly the kind of audience our
platform is built for."

Ilya Merenzon, CEO of World Chess, added: "We're excited to welcome TipRanks
to the world of chess. Chess players have become some of the last public
figures associated with intelligence, long-term thinking, and clarity - values
that strongly align with modern investing. This partnership is more than brand
visibility; it's cultural alignment."

The collaboration between TipRanks and World Chess sets the stage for further
activations, including partnerships with some of the most recognised chess
players in the world and a dedicated stream of financial content that speaks
to the way chess players think, plan, and make decisions.
