Playing chess for money

Hi,

Can anyone tell me of a website that allows you to play against others for money? Struggling to find one!!

i dont think one exists

 When you find something like that,

 you have just entered a world of engines, have fun.

engines? by that do you mean people just use bots/programs to cheat, as to take away the human brain factor?

yes.. its for money.. if people engine here why won't they engine on sites to win money?

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.

[COMMENT DELETED]

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.

except for backgammon you can play it for the love of the game or money

You can cheat at backgammon too:

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.

I get paid money to surgeury people sometimes at my hospital but you have no chance cus I burnt it all in my dampster yesterday :) !

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

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.
