I see @anichessgame as one of the most professional and sophisticated onchain chess games out there， built at a level that even world champions recognize. One common challenge with onchain games has been that the gameplay experience often doesn’t match the polish or playability of traditional offchain games. But in the case of Anichess, it feels like you’ve really overcome that barrier, would you agree?

Given that your player base includes both newcomers and seasoned chess veterans, how do you design the game mechanics to strike a balance between being accessible for beginners while still offering enough strategic depth to engage advanced players? That must be a tough balance, curious to hear your thinking behind it. @chessdude

Great Question.
For Anichess - just to clarify we are not fully onchain as of today as we are still in Alpha. Player experience is still very critical.
I think fully onchain games are still in its infancy stage TBH. I feel the long run equilibrium for games is a mix of web2 (centralized servers, databases) and web3 (tokens, NFTs, reputation), while fully onchain games would only make sense for some niche games.

I think the reason why many Web3 games we have seen in the past cycle were perceived as “unpolished” and “unplayable” is due to the fact that they put too much emphasis on “Web3” but less so on “game”, meaning it has to be fun, playable, that people will still stay around regardless of bull or bear. For a Web3 game to succeed in the LR, gameplay has to come before the Web3 parts of it (nft/token/staking). No other ways around it.

Thanks to the partnership with Chess.com and best players in the world like Magnus, we have the opportunity to co-create the new Anichess gameplay which i...
