How to deal with bots, or players open chessmaster on the side and play always the best moves in order to win the game?
I would love a DAC like this to be implemented but I can't imagine how you could make it a fair game between real players.
GO would defently be more interesting in your idea then chess. But why not implement both of the ideas into one? (the 2 dacs)
i dont know i would make both into one, in fact from what i understood from BM the chess DAC will implement what you wrote (correct me please if im wrong). As for ideas - you are right 100% - we all have ideas here, but not anyone can implement them.

The idea BM explained is without Players. Gamblers will compete to "Buy" future moves for each "Player". I don't like that concept (at least into gaming perspective) but this is my opinion.
As for the implementation -> there are a lot of people able to implement that (given the functionality III has already provided). However it requires some (a lot of) free time and dedication that not everyone could afford.
PS: Of course BM's idea lacks the downside of Players "cheating" by arranging games. Everything is on the blockchain and there is no risk for anyone to rig the results.
No, no, no - its not - thats what i thought at the begining. Its about both a game and betting. Re read the whole thread if you can again mate.
I think if you make a straight forward chess game on a blockchain there is no point in not adding wagering. I think that bidding on moves might end up being very problematic.
The neat thing is if you implement one DAC, you've done 95%+ of the work on the other version. So if someone did decide to write this, then we could likely see this variant along with the bidding variant. (Which as an experiment I would like to see, but I would caution anyone assuming it will be a significantly profitable DAC.)
Chess just has such little randomness to it, that I don't think it would be fun to gamble on. Sports have randomness. Poker/backgammon have randomness. What Western poker players call Chinese Poker has randomness to it. 13, versions of gin, etc. They all have randomness. Chess doesn't. No signficant luck, so no fun to gamble on.
