- This networked game gives you the starting point for a chess game. The code provided merely sets the board up and lets multiple players drag the pieces around. To make a better chess game, one could consider adding:A technique called "Generic coordinates" is used to allow the chess boards to be different sizes on each user's screen
  - Restrict the game to 2 players
  - Have the players take turns
  - Restrict the pieces to legal chess moves ... the current code allows pieces to be moved anywhere
  - Provide capture logic
  - There are many other chess things that could be added to this game. A list of things can be found at the bottom of the lecture notes
