inb4 same guy that created the 'turn $100 bitcoin into the life of a millionare.'

Well, I guess 120 bucks isn't much of a scam. Good luck guys.

I'm not actually familiar with that. What is 'turn $100 bitcoin into the life of a millionare.'? Distrust comes with being a newbie. People who e-mail me can see detailed info of how the whole chess tournament works.

To: OP

I am willing to offer escrow for this tournament in order to increase the odds of this happening. I am a chess fan myself, and this seems like fun, but seeing that you are of the "newbie" status, people will most likely not trust you. I am offering to hold the funds of this tournament, without releasing any payments until it is publicity determined who is the winner. I would then send the prize money, and then the 24$ to you (minus $1 escrow fee).

To discuss, please reply to this post directly (to remain public)

I would definitely do that. I can understand that not everyone trusts me. I will probably have everyone send money to you when the tournament starts. Bitcoin address and e-mail?

if it is online how will you prevent cheating?

I am able to watch all games that took place. If moves were put in impeccably, and without a delay, I could possibly disqualify for cheating.

Can't bots be programmed to put in a random time delay in there ?

Until then, if you are interested in taking part in the tournament. E-mail me. I should be able to reply when I get back home. So far no one has e-mailed me so all 8 slots are open! My email is [email protected]

See you guys in a day or two! Grin

I wont be participating in the tournament. I have no bias

Hope this resolves any worries!

You will host and moderate, and could have an inside person so of course it doesn't address any concerns.

Good point! Anything is possible. Besides an inside cheater would easily be noticed by opposition due to fast, and perfect moves. Then my reputation on the forums would be ruined. I don't have an inside person. That I can assure you of.

it's quite easy to cheat on a multiplayer game. Just find a good AI program and make the opponent play with the AI.

there might be a solution to this: "lightning chess" but it's not a good way to decide who's better player...
some people needs long time to think...

Yes I totally agree. Lightning chess is a possibility. But before we change the nature of the tournament... let me just say that I can review every game, and if I see something fishy, I will disqualify the cheater.

Well, why should we trust a newbie about being refree? First we need to trust you. You may disqualify an honest competitor...

What is the site URL? How do we or you prevent yourself from cheating?

I wont be participating. The site is lichess.org . I organize the whole thing, and make sure the funds safely get to the winner.

Great, good initiative, we need more stuff like this. What game will it be? i guess it will be with an online multiplayer game.

Yes, it will be online multiplayer. It will all be done on a website. Reddit wasn't as enthusiastic about my idea. Glad to know that this forum is accepting of new ideas! If you would like to participate, e-mail me. Having you on-board would be a pleasure

.

Post the URL of the site where the "fair gambling" will occur ... don't be shy.

Need 8 people ? You aren't going to pull Derren's trick are you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZmpsl3jI0

.07 x 222usd x 8 = 124usd...I suppose the host keeps the profits as well?

lichess.org
The site allows users to send requests to other users, and keeps a database of all games played. I am going to tell people which requests to send and to who. I will let everyone play their games then I will go to the database and find the games. The database shows the result of the games, the time in each move, what each move was, and the players in the game. I will tally the results. Know the disqualified losers, and organize the next games. It's all a rather tedious procedure.

I watched that video on Derren's trick. It was extremely interesting. Thank you for that!

and... Yes the host gives out 100 keeps 24. You catch on quick don't you!
