Play Magnus Group was founded by World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen in 2013, with the goal to promote chess through different games and experiences.
The platform now has over 60,000 users interested in learning, playing, competing, coaching, and watching different aspects of the chess game.
Animoca Brands and Lympo have partnered with Play Magnus Group to access over 30 chess grandmasters, including Magnus Carlsen, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, and many others, “to advise, monitor, and test Anichess as an immersive gaming experience for experienced and casual chess players, fans, and strategy game enthusiasts.”
In other words, Anichess will be the center for chess enthusiasts to meet, learn, and compete with their favorite players in the Chess world. Lympo and PMG will be designing immersive gameplay to indulge players’ interest and establish Anichess as a proper GameFi platform.
Additionally, since Anichess is a GameFi, it will utilize Lympo’s ecosystem and utility token, $SPORT for benefits and value proposition.
“The concept of Anichess will amplify the traditional chess experience with a new phenomenal strategic layer that will produce situations never seen before,” said Tadas Maurukas, CEO and co-founder of Lympo. “Well-established game designers, super chess grandmasters, esports stars, and casual gamers are working together to deliver an action-packed blockchain chess experience.”

Final words
Chess is a very rare game with the lowest population of professional players. In Web3, there aren’t any blockchain-based chess games, or board games in general, because most people might be interested in the action and adventure game genre.
Animoca Brands is breaking the market by introducing Anichess which unites chess players, watchers, and enthusiasts on one platform to enjoy the board game and earn something out of it.
As of now, no whitepaper has been released about Anichess. To know more about Anichess visit the official website or follow AnichessGame on Twitter.
