Status: Under Development.

• Create the chess board using HTML and CSS.

A friend offered to teach a PERL class recently. One of the requirements for the class was to adopt a project which would be used to apply our PERL learning to; my project was a Chess game which used PERL as a back end, and HTML/DHTML as a front end. This site will play host to the components of that game as it develops.
