The sender states that their primary goal with this project may be different and focused on testing Bitcoin transactions, while the secondary goal is to have fun and contribute to increasing demand for block space. They suggest that if chess sounds boring, it can be replaced with any two-player game that can be played patiently over a few hours or days. The sender also notes that zero fee transactions no longer work and all transactions will require fees long-term. They mention that OP_RETURN is excluded from the UTXO set, but many projects still use it.
