Anichess
and
Its
Approach
to
Chess

Anichess
provides
a
unique
tactical
approach
to
the
classic
game
of
chess
by
integrating
spells
that
open
up
new
strategies
and
gameplay.
This
requires
players
to
rethink
the
rules
of
traditional
chess
as
they
uncover
the
expansive
lore
within
the
game
world.
Anichess
recently
raised
a
funding
round
of
US$1.8
million,
led
by
Sfermion
and
Amber
Group,
with
participation
from
Fenbushi
Capital,
Aspen
Digital,
SNZ
Capital,
and
others.

Role
of
Team
Secret

Team
Secret
is
a
global
esports
brand
dedicated
to
bringing
together
the
best
gamers
to
compete
worldwide,
while
also
delivering
entertaining
experiences
to
its
fans.
It
offers
advertising
and
promotional
sponsorship,
talent
and
team
development,
business
management,
coaching,
and
other
forms
of
support
to
both
professional

aspiring
players
in
the
esports
arena.

Objectives

masters.
Ahead

receive
input
from
