Brave Partners with Chess.com on Two Championship Events

Brave is excited to announce that we are partnering with Chess.com, the #1 online chess site, on a series of media pilots. The first pilot involves Brave sponsoring two Chess.com Championship Events and promoting Chess.com to Brave users through Brave Ads in October and November.

Brave will be the presenting sponsor during the following live events:

• Chess.com Global Championship Round of 16 & Finals - Presenting Sponsor
  Round of 16 - October 2, 2022 - October 12, 2022
  Finals - November 2, 2022 - November 7, 2022

• Fischer Random World Championship - Presenting Sponsor
  October 25, 2022 - October 30, 2022

The 2022 Chess.com Global Championship (CGC) is the first Chess.com global championship cycle open to verified players. Players compete in official Chess.com verified events for their share of the $1,000,000 prize fund and the Chess.com Global Champion title.

The Knockout phase of the CGC began on September 14, with 64 players competing to move on to the finals.

The 2022 Fischer Random World Championship (FRWC) is an over-the-board event where titled players compete for the title of Fischer Random world champion. The qualifiers, played online and open to all titled players, began on August 22 at 9 a.m. PT/18:00 CEST, with the championship beginning on October 25. The FRWC has a $5,000 prize fund for the qualifiers, and a $400,000 prize fund for the World Championship.
