What the architecture does

The patent is directed to a data-communications architecture for competitive gaming in which gameplay is monitored and individual moves or move sequences are identified. A computer-implemented model then calculates points using factors that may include the particular game piece, strategic value, resource allocation and resource prediction.

Subsequent embodiments introduce real-world commodity and cryptocurrency values, dynamically changing piece value, external reference feeds, blockchain records, monetary point values and smart-contract settlement.

The specification explicitly names chess as a contemplated competitive game.
