How good are you drknow? I'm not terribly inclined to play, as I'd probably end up somewhere in the 1100 range in a competitive tournament.
i'm acctually pretty good, but i'm not amazing. i think it's kind of hard to tell what's going on with a "birds-eye-view" but that's just me. i'd prefer a physical board then the computer. sign on and give it a try though

Wow, already blocked by my company's websense.
that's probably because it's a .tk domain... which will be resolved soon. Someone was kind enough to help me with purchasing a valid .com domain (btcchess.com) and it will be moved to that location within the next few days. please don't let this scare you guys, i'm still trying to take care this. but please, i encourage you to find as many flaws as you can, so i can fix them post haste. kthxbai^^

Sounds good. Thanks, I just wanted to know where they go. I'm happy with my winnings for playing a strategy game

8% overall commission. 4% to affiliates and 4% to the house. also, the games are actually meant to last for days. there's a 2 day expiration on all moves. if you read the welcome message in your inbox, you'll see that if you don't make a move after 2 days, you forfeit the match and lose your wager. as for how long it took for you to receive your winnings, i could possibly manage all the accounting via the website, but did it using escrow accounts at first, to make it easier on my part. maybe in the future...

I'm down to play again later. However, a question about fees? I only received .46 out of (2x.25) from the game I won. Should that happen? Also, you might want to look into a way so that it doesn't take an hour to receive funds.

there's a serious problem with the api transfer protocols. i sent the last game's winner the btc from the escrow account manually, but until i can sort this whole thing out, this whole thing is on hold. sorry for the pre-mature announcement. i'll keep you all posted.
turns out it wasn't as serious as i thought it was. just a simple coding over-sight when calling playering information from the database. beta-testing still on. the more it get's used, the closer i'll get to the official launch. i'm still willing to sponsor players, i'll post again when another game goes on the list.

Just finished the game Now waiting for btc to be transferred from escrow to my account I assume. Its fun, but the problem is that its a bit slow (which is a must given that its an online game)

Its fun, but the problem is that its a bit slow (which is a must given that its an online game)congrats, i hope you play again soon. it does take a while for the confirmations, but i checked the database and it was sent correctly. and btw, chess requires alot of patience. and i'm sure if a player was putting up a substantial amount of bitcoins, he would want the liberty to take his time with each move. anyways... congrats!

The game says your move but won't let me click on the game to make a move.
the escrow account is still pending confirmation. after the initial invite, it sends the wager to an escrow account, and after someone accepts the invite, it must pend confirmation again. once it is confirmed, the game will allow you to continue. that's why it says "pending" and not "continue"
just give it another few minutes.

Lol, my reading comprehension must be failing

as far as monitoring potential botters, i'm open to suggestions. one method i had was to log every move a player makes, and determine if the moves are consistently played vs the opponents moves. if there is a pattern in their movements, i can determine if he/she is using a bot. also, adding a player history in the database so one can choose to accept a player who has never lost a game. i think this will deter most cheaters... but again, i'm open to suggestions.
