What is Anichess?
Anichess is a Web3-powered chess video game, built on Base, and available on browser. Developed by Animoca Brands– in partnership with Chess.com and backed by chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen– players dive into a blockchain-powered variant of the popular board game with a spell-slinging, strategic twist. Spells permit players to make huge changes to the game rather than making a move, such as transforming any piece into a knight, leaping your bishop over friendly pieces, or swapping your piece with one of your opponents. Each spell requires mana to cast, with gamers not only having to adjust to the challenge of a chess game where everything can change in a heartbeat, but also needing to manage a mana system that could be the key between victory and defeat.
