The article doesn't claim that playing chess for money is illegal. It isn't, actually. Rather, it discusses the fact that there is a bill to clarify the status of skill-based online gambling. An issue with UIGEA is its reliance on various ambigous, archaic state laws to determine what is illegal and what isn't. In response, Rep. Robert Wexler of FL introduced H.R. 2610, the Skill Game Protection Act.

==Please Explain Edit Revisions==
I changed '''Gambling is an addictive and unproductive activity consisting ...''' with '''The term Gambling is used to describe any activity consisting...''' Why is this being reverted? I think this makes the article better. By leaving it in, the article is saying that chess is unproductive, or poker is unproductive. I actually find both of those games to be very intellectually stimulating. --[[User:PaulLaroque|PaulLaroque]] 01:11, 10 April 2009 (EDT)
