Last night I sent the King’s Gambit registration link to a chess friend, and after sending it, I chuckled to myself. This guy didn't mention wallets or chains at all, just threw back a line: "If I play a bit better, can it really be worth more money?"
I was stunned at that moment, my heart almost skipped a beat. This question was too intense, too piercing, directly pricking the little knots I had been holding in my heart these days—what we really want is for skills to be seriously priced in this game.
What you guys are doing this week, I see it very clearly—registering casually on mobile, pulling friends to play together, playing chess for free, smashing the threshold down hard. It's not about forcing people into the crypto space, but rather bringing along those who love chess—friends, family, colleagues—into a game that they can understand at a glance.
