The protection of the ownership of chess games is uncertain and matter of controversial debate. The present work approaches this question from the unfair competition law point of view and how the online retransmission of chess games could be considered as an act of imitation with undue advantage of the effort of others. In order to do so, a brief analysis of the legal regime of this type of acts of unfair competition is carried out, outlining its essential characteristics in accordance with the doctrine and jurisprudence. Moreover, the World Chess case and its ruling by the Judicial Court of Paris of 11th June 2020 is analysed, which represents a milestone in case law on the matter, by regarding this type of behaviour as an act of unfair competition of parasitic nature.
