James D 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Maybe I shouldn't post this in a Poker Forum, but I was a keen chess player at school, and I've started playing again, for about the last 6 months, firstly just a couple of games against my girlfriend but she wasn't very good. Recently I've played against a couple of guys at work....So, firstly, does anybody else here play? (Figured that some poker players might?!), and more importantly, are there any sites that anybody knows of where you can play online, for money? If so, what have your experiences been, and are they any good?I've only seen ones where you just play for fun, or mostly, in a chess league. Link to post Share on other sites

chessazhole 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yeah ive got an expert rating in chess...... Your best bet is ICC chess (internet chess cafe) Its also called blitzin chess. If you google either one, you should find the website. It is pay though, but you can play for money I believe. I used to play there, and there were a couple thousand online at any given times including atleast 15 GMs usually. Otherwise yahoo is your best bet. Link to post Share on other sites
Petoria 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Played a lot of chess back in the day. From 3rd grade all the way through HS. I think the highest I was ever rated was around 1450. Made a couple of decent cashes, but not enough to pay the bills. Link to post Share on other sites

Chess is not like poker though, there is no luck involved and it's much more complicated. I'm not going to keep playing some guy that I constantly lose to, I just have no chance. It's not like I'm going to luck out into a good position and then go "Oh, look! Checkmate in one!" Link to post Share on other sites
