Sure, the best part of the anime for me was basically to see how smart sora and shiro is, it's interesting how they used tactics through things that we usually ignores like during the tossing coin game and how they planned out to beat Izuna way before they even started the game
which is foreshadowed by the "checkmate" statement and used it because most of the audiences will usually ignore or won't get the true meaning of it, also it's interesting how they actually used these tactics to plan out everything.
