Whalechess is a fully onchain implementation of chess created at ETHGlobal Bangkok 2024. It adds custom pieces, collection-building, squad construction, and play-to-earn mechanics to the familiar game.

Players accumulate pieces as they play. New pieces are generated through an LLM service that interacts with Solidity contracts built with the MUD framework.
