Open ⭐🌟✨ The $CHESS mine is live on @Algorand MainNet. Epoch I, al-Suli, ten million coins, and the first one has not been mined yet. Every decisive staked game is now mining CHESS, for both sides, on their own stake. Win or lose! Nobody was handed a coin yet. There is one door and it is the board. Sit down and play 🚀 algochess.org/play

I love the World Chess Hall of Fame and Museum! ♟️❤️ Every time I’m in town, I make a point of stopping by for a visit. Each visit brings a new experience, with something different and exciting to discover. It’s always a pleasure to explore, learn, and celebrate the rich history of our beloved game of chess! @WorldChessHOF @STLChessClub @FIDE_chess – at St Louis, MO

AlgoChess progress update ♟️ On Monday we had our biggest day ever: 16 staked duels settled on chain in a single day. In the last three days, 25 duels, almost half of every duel ever played on AlgoChess. We're still small, and we know it. But every one of those games was real: two players, real ALGO in an escrow contract, and the winner paid by the contract the moment the game ended. Nobody presses a button. What changed this month: ♟️ A weekly Arena, every Sunday 18:00 UTC. Arena #1 paid its podium 101 seconds after the final game ⚡ Rematch in one tap: play the same opponent again, same stake, same clock 🛡️ Fair play enforced by contract and by Stockfish: every win against it is reviewed before it pays ⛏️ $CHESS mined at the board, win or lose, with no premine and no team share We build every day from what players tell us. If something breaks, you'll see it fixed in public. Thank you to everyone who sat down at a board with us. Arena #2 is this Sunday. Come play: algochess.org $ALGO $CHESS #Algorand #chess

30 days of $CHESS ♟️ Every $CHESS that exists was mined at the board. No premine, no team share, no sale, no admin mint, and a contract nobody can change. 20,000,000 total, fixed forever. 20 epochs, each half the last, from al-Suli to Fischer. Epoch 1 mines 1 CHESS per ALGO staked, for both players, win or lose. The first 30 days, all on chain: - 57 staked games settled - 17 wallets played - 343 CHESS mined - 1 Arena, podium paid in 101 seconds 99.99% of epoch 1 is still to mine. algochess.org/token $ALGO $CHESS #Algorand #chess

AlgoChess Arena #1 is in the books 🎉 The concept. One hour of 5+0, players from everywhere at the same board at the same time. 7 staked games, every win reviewed by Stockfish, zero flagged. A clean podium, won over the board. The arena closed at 19:00. At 19:01 the Algorand contract had already paid the podium: 🥇 14 ALGO 🥈 8.4 ALGO 🥉 5.6 ALGO Nobody had to press a button. Proof on chain: allo.info/tx/46XVPKQZYIBVXRS… That is what the Arena is for: one hour where everyone shows up together, the next game is always seconds away, and the leaderboard moves with every result. Arena #2 is next. Follow so you don't miss the date: algochess.org/arena $ALGO $CHESS #Algorand #chess
