On 6 March 2023, the opening day of the park, the first chess match on the MRT occurred on Board Two (the Carlsen Board) between McYoshi26 (white) and worrski (black). The match was short-lived, due to connection issues on worrski's end, and the players agreed to a draw. A replay of the match can be viewed here.
