Rumble Kong League drops Avalanche: The baseball game with the arcade-style architecture that Rumble Kong League had been building on Avalanche for some time, but now it’s around. Last year, the builders announced that the activity is moving over to Ethereum sidechain system Ronin in place of Avalanche.

Rumble Kong League, which was just released for iOS and Android, is now moving into its soft launch stage with rewards for Ronin budget holders in preparation for the anticipated FAME on-chain key launch later this third.

Land Fens snapshot: The creators of the popular Telegram game Land Frens and the soon-to-be-released plan game Everseed announced a last snapshot date ahead of the key launch and airdrop. Fixed for Monday, January 20 at 3am UTC, people don’t have much more now to secure their ultimate boost to their resupply planning.

Specifically, the engineers confirmed, resupply allocations will be affected by the entire historical number of NUTS, DIRT, and DUNG that people have accumulated in Farm Frens. Plus, those holding NFTs related to the upcoming tower defense game Everseed are also accounted for in the snapshot—namely, the Everseed Ranger, Sprout, or Diddit NFTs. &nbsp,

The token launch on Ethereum layer-2 network Base is set for sometime in January.

AI chess loses to ChatGPT: Levy Rozman, the world’s greatest player, gathered some unlikely foes for an upcoming chess competition: chatbots. The tournament included the likes of ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and X’s Grok. The outcomes were a mixed bag of mostly passable opening movements followed by increasingly chaotic attempts to break the game’s rules.

After defeating MetaAI and Copilot to face off against Stockfish, a model that was made specifically to be a whiz at chess, OpenAI’s ChatGPT made it to the final. Unsurprisingly, ChatGPT lost after Stockfish cornered its king. &nbsp, &nbsp,
