100%.  Two players play chess for money: 2700+ Grandmasters, and chess huslters in a park. Other than that, it's for the love of the game.

Engines make chess for money on the Net an impossibility. At any time control.

There is actually a site like this, but I'm not sure if it's against the rules to advertise another site on here.

Chess is an honorable game. Playing chess with money involved is imao vulgar. Try online poker (another vulgar thing) if you wish to loose money. For me chess is all about intelligence, passion, art and honor. And that can not be won nor lost with money. Cool

I wasn't talking about online

How good are backgammon engines lately? They used to be really bad, esp at evaluating Back-game positions.  But haven't played one for years.

It would open a can of worms--much worse than getting better players helping you at adjournments in tournaments which has gone on since time started.

Playing for money in Chess is just wrong.  That's why you don't see it in the casino. 

Avatar of trigs

wow i'm amazed that chess is deemed so "honorable" and games where money can be involved are "dishonorable". i guess some will never get over the degenerate gambler stigma.

(let me state for the record that i'm mostly referring to the poker comments being made because poker is not gambling imho.)

Our extended family has an "Olympics" of sorts where we pool $50 each entry and compete in dominoes, chess, free throw shooting, croquet, lawn darts, bowling and darts. Very competitive, great fun and an excuse to get together besides the nieces and nephews birthdays.
