Does anybody know place, or will be that place a chess.com, to play for money ( bitcoin )?

Or any alt-coins.

To make a bet, e.g. 5BTC, look for opponent with bet at least 10BTC, who agree to play with me for only my 5BTC, 5 vs 10, i win, profit 10BTC.


This has been discussed before, but as far as I know nothing ever came of it.  The problem is preventing cheating.  Even if your opponent isn't directly using an engine to beat you, he could just imitate your moves against a chess engine on a 2nd computer and move according to the engine's responses.
