En-Nah Chess Legend is a bangboo chess event where Proxies can create the best Bangboo lineups to defeat their opponents.

During the event, each Bangboo has a specific bond and type that you’ll need to use to build the best team.
Bangboos with matching bonds and types grant a bond effect that provides buffs and bonus stats. The more bonds and types you deploy on the board, the stronger the bond effects become.

At the start of each stage, you are given a set number of coins. These coins can be used to either recruit Bangboos from the Shop or level up, which allows you to deploy more Bangboos on your board.

The event has a Story Mode where you must play against NPCs or playable agents! While in Competitive Mode, you can battle against other players online to get a higher rank or play with your friends to test out who has the best Bangboo teams.

A Wild Bangboo appears in Lumina Square, near Eve's News Stand, saying that it's from the Marcel Group and is giving you an all-new Bangboo. But denying the offer triggers an encrypted record made by Lady Sunbringer.
The record states that a Bangboo chooses its person, not the other way around, and we should always thank our companion Bangboos for all the patience and hard work that they do for us.
The mysterious Bangboo will only appear in Lumina Square once you get the Bonds That Require No Calculation upon participating in the En-Nah Chess Legend Event after Server Reset.

They didn't cook with this one. As if the mini-game wasn't boring enough, an average multiplayer opponent is completely braindead, winning against them isn't challenging nor satisfying, so it just ends up being a massive waste of time. I'm already starting to not like this game and if they continue making dogshit events I'm quitting for sure.

Goodness. Right after Genshin's Caper Chronicles (if I'm not mistaken with the name), ZZZ pulled the SAME event. Not really a fan of the RNG just to get the recommended bangboos.
