GLOBAL CHESS LEAGUE (GCL), a joint initiative between Tech Mahindra and FIDE, has partnered with BMC Helix, a provider of digital enterprise solutions, to integrate AI-powered intelligence and automation into its technology framework.
The collaboration aims to ensure that every move, match, and moment unfolds seamlessly for players, organisers, and fans across the globe. GCL Season 3 is scheduled to take place from 13 to 24 December at Mumbai’s iconic Royal Opera House.
As part of the partnership, the league will leverage BMC Helix AIOps, the company’s advanced AI-driven platform for intelligent service and operations management. Using predictive analytics and automation, the system will streamline league operations ensuring uninterrupted gameplay, reliable broadcasts, and a consistently smooth experience for all stakeholders.
GCL chairperson Peeyush Dubey said, “Every move in chess is about foresight, precision, and timing, and those same principles guide the operations at GCL. Partnering with BMC Helix allows us to build a digital backbone that mirrors the intelligence of the game itself. Together, we’re setting a new standard for how sport and technology can work in perfect synchrony.”
BMC Helix area vice president – GOSI International Shwetha Sanjeev added, “The Global Chess League reflects a unique blend of strategy and innovation, and our collaboration brings that philosophy to life through technology. With AI-driven insights and predictive service and operations management, we’re helping ensure every match runs smoothly, allowing players to focus on their game and fans to enjoy a truly connected experience.”
