What is Anichess?
Anichess reimagines the timeless game of chess by integrating a unique spell mechanic, adding layers of strategy and excitement to traditional gameplay. Set in a world where magic meets classic chess tactics, Anichess is designed to appeal to both beginners and seasoned players.
It retains the essence of chess while introducing fresh, modern twists that make the game engaging and unpredictable. By blending familiar chess elements with innovative spellcasting, Anichess offers a new and accessible experience for a new generation of players.
Innovative Spell Mechanics
Anichess integrates spells into gameplay, allowing players to cast powerful moves that add depth and excitement to traditional chess. Players begin with a few unlocked spells and can unlock additional spells by completing in-game missions, which encourage different strategies and enhance gameplay depth. This feature creates new tactical possibilities, making each match unique and strategic.
Game Rules
In Anichess, players select exactly three spells before each match, casting them strategically using accumulated mana points. Every turn without casting a spell adds 1 mana, with a maximum of 8 mana available. Traditional chess rules apply, with familiar moves such as Castling, En Passant, and Pawn Promotion. Players can choose from multiple game formats, including Blitz (5 minutes), Rapid (10 minutes), and Classic (30 minutes), to suit their preferred pace.
Diverse Game Modes
Anichess provides several game modes that cater to different playstyles:
Quick Match: Play fast-paced games without affecting your ELO, perfect for casual play.
