Introduction

Anichess is modernizing chess by infusing the timeless game with an innovative spell mechanic.

Players can solve spell chess puzzles, compete against each other, and craft their own spells (coming soon) to battle and climb the ranks.

Our unique spell layer adds depth and unpredictability to the game, making it engaging for everyone including novices and grandmasters.

We are incubated by Animoca Brands and developed in partnership with Chess.com, the #1 online chess platform globally with 200M+ users.

We also have signed partnerships with multiple players like Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, Sopiko Giri, David Howell, Dina Belenkaya, Sam Sevian, and many others.
