What exactly is the essence of GameFi? This question is worth deep reflection. Currently, many blockchain games are caught in a vicious cycle—players pay for the time they invest, which is essentially the same time monetization logic as traditional games, just wrapped in a blockchain guise.

But what if GameFi could return to this question—cheering for "the display of wisdom"? This is precisely the unique angle of AnichessGame. It doesn't blindly create new game genres; instead, it chooses to reshape one of humanity's oldest and most pure tests of intelligence—the game of chess. What's interesting about this approach? Chess inherently has verifiable intellectual competitiveness, zero randomness, and the results on the chain truly reflect players' depth of thinking.

The attempt by the project team Animoca Brands on this basis may offer a new perspective for the entire GameFi track: to make blockchain a stage for intellectual competition, rather than just a counter for time spent.
