Short onchain story: smart contract vs smart contract chess

In 2021, I launched my first project, a 100% onchain chess engine (i.e. the smart contract plays chess).

A few months later, I saw 8 mints come in simultaneously. Was very surprised see it was another smart contract by @0age beating my smart contract!

this was actually like 90% of the reason and inspiration for tx.cool -- made me wonder about how many "cool" transactions people don't know about

pretty sure <10 people know this happened

it also has 100% onchain generative art minted per move; my pfp is game #0, move #0 :)

**fiveoutofnine** is the first **100% on-chain** chess engine, where minters **play against the smart contract**. Each move is minted as an NFT, and accompanied by a generative art piece. The majority of the project's development and beauty is in its [**algorithms and code that enable**](https://fiveoutofnine.com/contract) such complex computing, so the art highlights its design and implementation.
