You don't get to meet @MagnusCarlsen.
600 million people play chess. Almost none of them get within a board of the best who ever played.
On Tuesday, we changed that. We put Magnus on a stage in Hong Kong and opened the @FIDE_chess World Team Championships.
> 24 players & one @Chessnutech2022 AI across the board from him in the simul
> 4 legendary challengers who earned their shot through the Anichess bracket
> A few hundred in the room, the rest watching live and exclusive on @opensea
Some of them grew up watching this guy win world titles. On Tuesday they played him.
The day had opened hours earlier: Magnus and @ysiu chairman and co-founder of @animocabrands on stage discussing the future, @akaNemsko & @jesusislord running the room.
That is what Anichess does. We bring the Magic.
One room in Hong Kong, the whole chess world looking at it. That was us.
Thank you to everyone who showed up.
Season 10: Ascension is almost here, and it is based.
Anichess is chess with spells, and this season has 300,000 $CHECK on the line.
New this season
> The Masters League: 8 seats at the top of the game and 100,000 $CHECK, the closest thing Anichess has to a chess title
> Events every week, including Relic Rush, where you earn cosmetics just by playing
> Ratings reset one last time, then carry over from season to season

The Circuits Playoffs are over, and Dreams is your champion.
The top players from Season 9 fought it out in one bracket, and this is how it finished:
> π Dreams
> 2nd: Marka
> 3rd: Ra1zen
> 4th: Seagull12
Congrats to all four, and to everyone who played their way into the bracket.
M8 is moving to @base, and it's packing light.
As part of the migration, every M8 balance gets divided by 100. If that leaves you with less than 5, we top you up to 5, so nobody arrives on Base with pocket change.
Why shrink it? The shop is coming soon, and nobody wants to pay 40,000 M8 for a knight.
> Balances divide by 100 in the migration
> Anyone under 5 M8 after that gets topped up to 5
> Already opted in? You're set, nothing else to do
See you on Base.
