I don't think there is still a very professional chess competition site which accepting Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency you can try some sites for now and with Some weeks so people can make new websites for you to play.http://www.chessfaucet.com and https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3cbqkq/play_chess_for_bitcoin_first_time_play_for_real/

I also doubt these sites exist.

 Not necessarily because of the crypto limititations/implementations, but rather because it is extremely easy to cheat.

You can emulate your game with a computer/bot that calculates the best moves in seconds. There's no way you can win from that as a human, and thus would you always make money. When there's money at stake i'm pretty sure most people would use that to their advantage.
