Internet Khmer Chess

   Excerpt from Wiki : On the far side of the temple, the third western gopura has pediments of a chess game and the Battle of Lanka, and two guardian dvarapalas to the west.

   In 21th AD, I am helping the great King to carve Khmer Chess on computer and Internet.
  Khmer Chess was/is men's game. But time had changed and I hope that young cambodian women start training to play chess like the chinese do at early age.
  There were a bunch of chinese girls/women participate in the last Chinese National Chess Championship.

   This Internet Khmer Chess program is good enough to be used in organizing world wide championship where each player from cambodian/foreigners  in Cambodia and/or oversea can paticipate over the Internet.
Other four noticeable features of this program are :
 1. While two players compete against each other, he/she can tell the program to upload the on going game to his/her web site so that  other people visiting his/her web site can watch the game in real time.
2. When chess master(s) play the game, each move he/she makes is recorded in a simple and unique format and store them to the disq. The programs can read that file later on to to redisplay each move of the game step by step. By providing this feature, next cambodian generation can learn the strategy of the chess move from the master.
3. Real time chat and voice are also incorporated.
4. I expand the number of player to four.
