That is interesting. About four or perhaps five years ago I was actually making modifications to an existing chess game made with Delphi to add network support so me an my friend could play together over the internet.
Now becouse that program used some shareware components like chess board VCL component, and also used external AI engine I have never published it as doung so I would violate IP rights of the original owners.
I did started creating of my own chess board component which instead of being topdown view used pictures of an actuall woden chess board and figures photographed at about 60 degrees angle. But since I'm not a good photographer and at that time I was pretty horible everything looked kinda ugly.
Anyway I abandoned the project later becouse I found a website wihch alowed online chess play. So me and my friend used that for a while but still nothing beats the playing of chess in person. So we still prefer playing in person.
So have you perhaps thought about adding network support to your chess game?
