Animoca Brands has created a new game called Anichess, which combines the elements of classic chess with cutting-edge magic spell mechanisms. The popular website Chess.com and five-time world chess champion Magnus Carlsen have partnered to create the free-to-play spell-based chess strategy game. This innovative project seeks to bring accessibility and strategic depth to the game of chess, therefore reinventing the experience.

The First Phase of Anichess

The first section, called the “Mini Game,” takes players into an engaging single-player game that can be played on mobile and online browsers. Participants can explore daily puzzles, additional tasks, objectives, gambits, prizes, and a prize pool reserved for Moca ID users. The game offers a PvE gaming trip.

Magnus Carlsen expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am excited that Anichess is bringing innovation to chess with spells and strategy gaming elements that provide a refreshing chess experience.”

While solving puzzles, Anichess offers players the opportunity to employ special spell mechanics that allow them to overcome obstacles by turning an ordinary piece into a knight. Orbs of Power, in-game currency that opens up additional challenge problems with better prizes, are awarded to players who solve riddles successfully.

Anichess’ groundbreaking features were emphasized by Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands. The combination of classic tactics, inventive spellcasting, an engrossing fantasy plot, and Web3 functionality was highlighted by him. Anichess’s pioneering attitude is further demonstrated by its cooperation with Chess.com and the participation of chess greats such as Magnus Carlsen.”

The next phase, which is scheduled for delivery later in Q1 2024, promises tactical PvP magic. Anichess is taking the chess world by storm and opening up new possibilities for strategy games. It appeals to fans of the game as well as those looking for a novel and magical gameplay experience.
