I do love chess but I admit that I'm not an expert though. But regarding online betting, will be difficult as there could be bots that is really hard to beat.
In this kind of games, many players are getting fooled by this hackers and seize the opportunity to collect money using a bot that is impossible to beat. That's why my point of view about playing these kind of board game is just for an entertainment purposes only and it shouldn't include any betting or money so that you're not pressured while playing. You only get experience and bond with your opponent plus it can also possibly increase your critical thinking skills. If you really want to become a professional chess player, you should practice and practice until you can wait for a gambling platform that is fair enough to all chess player.
Anyway, since you mentioned chess, me and my kids are playing it more than often because of the covid-19
. Yeah, another bonding time because of the lock down and I would suggest others to do so.
Quality time is also important inside the house and it is really good to see families that are entertaining themselves. Bonding requires a group of people who have good communication from one another. As this quarantine is still implemented and the Covid-19 virus is progressively spreading in some part of the countries, you should think of the possible activities or bonds that will make all of the family members to join and participate so that no one is exempted to experience bonding. Besides chess, there are also a lot of card games that you can enjoy such as snake and ladders, Bingo, and etc.
