Technical Implementation Layer

The patent architecture expressed as production system components. Each module states its architecture, the claim elements it implements, the MVP behaviour, example logic and the point at which it could attach to existing tournament-grade chess infrastructure.

System composition

Ten services, one ordered event stream

  1. 01Event ingestion — moves and game state from digital clients, sensor boards and relays
  2. 02Strategic analysis — engine, rules and ensemble scoring of the move
  3. 03Resource valuation — commodity and digital-asset reference data
  4. 04Prediction — player and spectator positions on resolvable micro-events
  5. 05Dynamic reward — multifactor determination of the value of the move
  6. 06Tokenisation — optional issuance of a digital reward or record
  7. 07Integrity — hashing, anchoring and assistance-risk gating
  8. 08Ledger — distributed record and inclusion proofs
  9. 09Settlement — verified distribution and conversion
  10. 10Presentation — players, spectators and tournament administrators

Captures moves and game state

Event Ingestion Service

Claims 1, 17, 18

Architecture

Normalises moves arriving from digital clients, OTB sensor boards and tournament relays into a single structured game event with game identifier, ply, notation, resulting FEN and server timestamp. Events are published on an ordered per-game stream consumed by every downstream engine.

Patent relevance

Provides the monitoring and move-identification steps and the structured-event form.

MVP implementation

Stream consumer with idempotent per-ply keys and replay from the last committed offset.

Potential Chess.com integration point

Sits alongside existing live-game and broadcast relay pipelines; consumes rather than replaces them.

Example code

type MoveEvent = {
  gameId: string; ply: number; san: string;
  fen: string; clockMs: number; ts: string;
};

bus.publish(`game.${gameId}.move`, normalise(rawMove));

Implementation notes

  • The MVP demonstrates a live commodity-linked reward calculation model driven by the same structured move event used for strategic scoring.
  • It provides an illustrative ERC-20 reward-token implementation issued after a move is scored and finalised.
  • It includes Ethereum-based immutable move events and hash-based storage concepts, so that any determination can be independently re-derived and verified.
  • Every reward is a pure function of an immutable event snapshot; recomputation is the audit mechanism.
