SportAccord World Mind Games

The International Mind Sports Association (IMSA) inaugurated the SportAccord World Mind Games December 2011 in Beijing.[1] For all sports, the meet was invitational and the events were not world championships. Beside satisfaction of the participating players and federations, the main objectives were to achieve "a worldwide TV coverage, and a large participation to the online tournament linked to the event."[1]

The first four meets, 2011 to 2014, were all held in Beijing during December.
