Anichess (CHECK)

Anichess is a Web3 chess project that blends the timeless strategy of chess with innovative spell mechanics, puzzles, and competitive gameplay to attract both casual players and grandmasters. Built by the collaboration between chess.com and Animoca Brands, it leverages blockchain for transparency, digital ownership, and community-driven innovation. Anichess.com offers Anichess PvP battles with fragments and spell crafting, while Anichess Tournament lets players compete for ranks and tokenized rewards.

Built on classic chess foundations, Anichess app introduces Kingslay battles, spellcasting, and unique player loadouts for a new layer of strategy. This includes: 

• Spells: A core mechanic that lets you reshape the game with powerful abilities, each with its own mana cost and usage limits, starting with five spells unlocked and receiving more as you progress;
• Inventory: A personalization system where you start with default items and unlock new boards, pieces, themes, and cosmetics through progression, achievements, or events;
• Ethernals: A 960-piece genesis PFP collection on Ethereum that grants holders on-chain proof of presence, exclusive in-game rewards, evolving utility, and eligibility for a $CHECK airdrop equal to 10% of the total token supply.

🪙 Anichess Token: $CHECK is the utility token of the ecosystem that is used for governance and rewarding active players, as over 56% of the total token supply is allocated to the community. In confirmation of this fact, users can stack M8 points, which are built on Base, to reward consistent play. These points are most likely to be the main criteria for the potentially upcoming Anichess airdrop.

In addition to that, $CHECK is live on Capital Launchpad, where the Anichess crypto project aims to raise an additional $700K.
