I don't think you'll find a server that'll do that. You can, however, create a web based front end to a local chess program, but even then there would be problems. For example, suppose 100 people were playing at one time. The poor program would be hurting. I guess you could limit the number of players, though. Hmmm.... I would advise: 1. write a chess playing program to play on a chess server (like ICC) 2. if you like, write a custom (web based) interface I don't think flash is well suited for the task. -- James
