I already wrote that I would like to see chess on Steemit and, in principle, this is the game in which you can consider the option of a money stake to win, but, as practice shows, games without initial investments, with the ability to grow from scratch, are more popular. In theory, chess sites earn good money on advertising due to the large number of users and the creator of such a game should not be at a loss :)
But this is just my vision of this issue.
