No. I will lose more than I will gain, and I don't trust the electronical way of handling money via the internet.

Define 'play chess'. Finishing a game? Make a (one) move? More than once a day, I'll say.

3. (b) You will not use chess engines, chess software, chess computers or consult any third party to assist you in any game. Feel free to use them to stab spammers in the eye if they are pointy. Chess books and databases can be consulted during play.

2) If not, why not?

Could encourage cheating. Seems like it'd ruin the gentlemanly nature of the game. I play chess for fun, not to win a few bucks. May also make losing more difficult to deal with, wereas it should be a learning experience.

Responding with a "no" will help keep this thread bumped. Just warning those who don't want to encourage this guy.

Since I already posted, no. Why would I gamble against engine users? That's just stupid.
