though still a bit buggy, my chess game is very playable, over network. i have been having a dificult time trying to get someone to test it with me over the internet though. if anyone wants a game, contact me on icq # 38613511 or MSN: webmaster at juddman.8m.com

i dont know where to begin on programming rules. anyone know of any open source chess games i might have a look at?
I started a chess game interface using swing some time ago… I programmed the rules myself. I got it to the point of being able to play a simple game over a network.
I can share my code when I find it… but I warn you it was a “learning experience” so it is basically a good example of an inefficient way to do everything 
There is a client server chess example distributed with JBuilder. If you want to get that let me know.
yeah sure. i dont have an email address just at the moment but if you have msn, aol, icq or yahoo…
