Yep, if you want to play chess for money, just go to a park and challenge someone out there.
Don't know if it is illegal though xD

Yes, this will be superb, Those who wants to feel the real excitement of this game and also wants to earn some money can go for such betting. Playing with bot and playing with human will be different things and it will attract more people.
i would also support this. i woudnlt call myself extremely good at chess. but the idea that your win chance depends on your skill is really cool. looking forward to seeing someone develop this.Well, this thread is proof of one such attempt, and if you try visiting the site, you will see the result - it's already offline.
The problem is, there is no way to tell whether or not someone is cheating in online chess; so, why would anyone want to bet their BTC in a match against (potentially) a bot? In fact, if you read the vast majority of the replies to this thread, that's exactly what is consistently pointed out: "it's a nice idea, but there is no way to make it work" (not for chess, anyway).
I don't think that its a good idea to play chess to earn bitcoins. It will be really difficult to beat the BOT and I don't think that people will use their bitcoins to play chess. IF they wants to play chess then there are so many sites available where you can play and there is no need to pay bitcoins or other type of money.
ya beating the bot would be hard, but how cool would it be if you could play another human in a chess match online and put btc on the lineYes, this will be superb, Those who wants to feel the real excitement of this game and also wants to earn some money can go for such betting.

Online chess? I could make a lot of bitcoins here given that there are a lot of softwares dedicated on playing chess. 
Hard to tell whether your opponent is cheating or not.

I am absolutely try my chess skills for bitcoins because i like playing chess.
Yeah you can go ahead and give it a try but simply playing chess won't help you beating the bots in the game .The games are of high difficulty and its not easy for an average chess player to beat the algorithms .You should atleast be a medium to high level chess player to win this game .Not to forget but you're betting your money in it so might as well be cautious : p

but of course, i have to say that if btc/$$ is involved, a lot of ppl will just download the best software n use those to win. not all software r the best, but some chess has the best software created like checkers or so. so if you use the best software, it is almost a win for you.
also chess may have still mate so it could also end in a draw in which some betting site dont like that.

your logic sounds weird.
so by going to your way of logic, apply to sport (and change a few words),
'I don't think any site like that will ever exist. I mean why do you even want to play sport for btc?
You beat you opponent in a game that requires "skills" and stragety, so why do you want to earn coins on top of that?'
people bets on these sport all because of the belief in their skills! so why cant people bets on their belief in intelligent. just like football/ruby, it is really a game of intelligent/stragety.

Besides even if you needed the coin factor to play chess and get "happy" about it, this will never work online as players will just cheat and use software to beat you.

This is too tough ! How can we expect to beat a machine in a chess game ? If the algorithm is complex enough and purely based on AI,then I don't think we can exactly outsmart it.It would be nice if we had an option to challenge any player of our choice and bet on any amount that we both accept to pay.
That is probably correct for the most of us, but some players can. The problem in challenging a player, i that you don't know if he wont just use a software and win the game :/
Yes all this website stuff is too insecure because we have such rich technologies out there .Plus machine learning algorithms are again something we might take into consideration before playing against them .If you're to challenge someone you know either personally or through internet the game might be legit but playing totally random is too risky .
Sounds great ! What are the probabilities of winning though ? I know if you have used very advanced algorithms then beating an average betters is quite a simple tasks.It will check-mate opponents in no time .This game is totally based on intelligence which I believe in average players in less as compared to machines .So yeah I don't think I can beat a machine if its highly advanced .
Well, a computer playing chess will typically go through every possible move (with some degree of optimization), and choose the one that yields the most profit. Now, although that process can indeed defeat human players, it's not really due to what most would describe as intelligence (not in a general intelligence sense, at least); it's just a brute force approach.
At any rate, unless some changes were made to the site (and it still seems to be offline at the moment), I think the idea was to allow PvP games plus bets, and not exactly player versus computer games (though that's what it would eventually become if someone were to cheat).
i thought i could play chess online using my bitcoin but it seems the site is already Suspended and also OP doesn't active at this forum since few month ago
what a pity...

okay people are already saying the website is with malware or other red flags.
so its a shame.. cause chess is really an awesome game esp. since I played it ever since I was a kid.

I really like chess to, but it will never go to the btc world, it's just impossible. So I will be suspicious about every site that wants to gamble from chess. This one was just another example.

Same is happening to me. i registered yesterday and played a little bit. after i tried to login today, i've got the message that my account has been suspended. i do not know why :/
I cant access the site its always say the account is supended i think the site owner closed it. or the owner banned from the hosting site
Be careful to sign up there, look at my post above you, possibly the site have malware.
oh my, that is so creepy. glad that you warn us before i do anything. i almost want to sign up to have a look at the inside. chess sure is a soft spot for me.
