Chess for bitcoins? Isn't Chess a little too exploitable as a game? I mean you could just have pretty strong Chess program running in the background and just copy moves from it.


that's the point, soon someone would create a bot that plays games for them, even with huge bets, and they would usually win, so it would be really unfair

and on the other hand, brain sport like chess is awesome idea, i would play it same as i do with bitcoin poker because i like skill based games more than luck based ones
I can play chess really well. So it will be nice if I can win that I have some Bitcoins, but not everyone can play chess.
And that is the problem. It is just for fun and some games are really long and that is also very tired.
Even if you consider yourself very strong chess player I doubt that you will win against some amazing chess programs, widely available for everyone.
As for the time consumption, isn't there usually a limit for your move? It can be easily set that 1 move=max 4 minutes or something.
