I scored a win. I emailed Chess.com through my account and convinced them to accept Bitcoin as payment. Enjoy!  |

Yes, perhaps the largest online chess site in the world. I noticed they were on the Gambit board for BitNopoly. |

Awesome! I contacted them quite a while ago about this. And I guess so did many others. Perhaps your inquiry was the last straw. Good job!  Now, let's consider which yearly plan I'll take. Looking forward to play my first Bitcoin-funded game of chess. |

Looking forward to play my first Bitcoin-funded game of chess. No, I'm sure we all contributed. I was just excited when they emailed me to tell me about it By the way, PM me your chess.com handle if you want to play a match. But take it easy on me, I'm learning  |

Congratulations. Also been trying this, with no real success so far, but I'd love if we could keep an email template updated for non-native people like me who are bound to write senseless shit and scare people out rather than help. Made a post here, could you pretty please share your approach? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=329105.0 |

Does anybody know place, or will be that place a chess.com, to play for money ( bitcoin )?
Or any alt-coins.
To make a bet, e.g. 5BTC, look for opponent with bet at least 10BTC, who agree to play with me for only my 5BTC, 5 vs 10, i win, profit 10BTC.

This has been discussed before, but as far as I know nothing ever came of it. The problem is preventing cheating. Even if your opponent isn't directly using an engine to beat you, he could just imitate your moves against a chess engine on a 2nd computer and move according to the engine's responses. |

They have various levels of subscription memberships which give you access to engine analysis, video lessons, etc. To play is free. |

That might be doable, but do you really want to bet on a game and be subject to lag, mouse slips, etc.? |
