Play Chess on Yesodi
Chess on Yesodi is a head to head game where two members each stake a 25 coin wager and play for the pot. It is one of the games available inside the Yesodi platform, alongside a free public profile and publishing tools.
How the chess match works
Two members face each other in a single head to head game of chess. Each player stakes 25 coins before the match begins. The two stakes combine into a pot of 50 coins. The result of the game decides how that pot is paid out.
How the 25 coin wager pays out
The winner of the match takes 40 coins from the pot. A draw refunds 20 coins to each player. Yesodi keeps a small rake from the pot on each game. This payout structure is the same across the head to head games on the platform.
Coins used for the wager
Coins are an optional internal credit used for extras such as game wagers. Coins are held in the member wallet and are not required to publish work or to be found in search. Chess uses coins only for the 25 coin stake. Solo arcade games on Yesodi use a smaller fixed cost per play.
