One clear advantage of being part of the Animoca Brands ecosystem is access to a strong network and valuable resources.

For example, some high-profile names like Magnus Carlsen, Balaji, and Luca (founder of Pudgy Penguins) have all played Anichess. What kind of feedback have they shared about the gameplay experience? Are there any other notable players or supporters you'd like to highlight?

And just for fun, among all the crypto personalities who’ve played, who would you rank as the top 3 strongest chess players? @chessdude 

在 Animoca Brands 生态的一个明显优势就是能接触到很多顶级资源和人脉。

比如你们的玩家阵容里就有很多大咖，像世界冠军 Magnus Carlsen、Balaji，还有 Pudgy Penguins 的创始人 Luca 都玩过 Anichess。他们对游戏的玩法和体验有没有给出什么特别的反馈？有没有其他你觉得值得一提的行业名人？

在所有玩过 Anichess 的名人里，你觉得谁的棋力最强？可以给我们排个 Top 3 吗？😄

100%. Animoca Brands has provided us access to top influencers which I never dreamed of speaking with, let alone playing and strategizing a game together. Magnus Carlsen is the greatest player in the history of chess, a 1,500 years old game, and he loves Anichess. Let that sink in. 
During ideation phases of the project, there were concerns around whether top competitive players would like the idea as this really changes the rules and reduces their competitive edge with the spells. However, the feedbacks have been really positive so far. Magnus thinks it’s fun and very playable. Anish Giri thinks its exciting and fun to play. Luca Netz thinks its really fun and he had a great time playing Magnus. 
Gotta give it to @ysiu as he made Magnus think for over 1min on a move!
