Is true the chordae tendineae anchor the semilunar valves to the walls of the ventricles?

No. in my opinion, Chordae tendineae is attached to Tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve. Both valves do not have semilunar valves. Pulmonary valve and Aortic valve has semilunar valve.

Strings attached to AV cusps?

Strings or chordae tendineae are attached to the atrioventricular (AV) valve cusps within the heart. These structures help to anchor the valve leaflets in place and prevent them from prolapsing back into the atria during ventricular contraction. Dysfunction of the chordae tendineae can lead to regurgitation of blood flow across the valves.
