Ehh, there are five figure purses in some of these major chess events these days. Also, the World Champion gets $750k, and the runner-up gets $500k. There's also a fair bit of online viewership for good, entertaining chess players. All in all, it could very well be worth smuggling in a small electronic device.

Damn... I chose the wrong career path. (More likely I'd wind up with a "will play chess for food" sign eventually)
I didn't realize there was that kind of money involved, definitely enough that people would gamble on.
