General Instructions:

For the GUI version:

For the client program, first enter a username and password and click either "register" or "login". Then, a list of your friends will be shown. You can add and remove friends, or chat with an existing friend. Once you've opened a chat with a friend, you can play chess by clicking the "Chess" button (or typing the word "Chess"). To launch the server program, simply specify a port number.

For the command-line version:

For the client program, first specify a hostname and port number. Enter r if you wish to register as a new user, or l if you wish to login. Then enter a username and a password. Then add or remove friends if necessary, and type Chat to chat with a user that is your friend. To play a game of chess with a friend, simply type in Chess, and then type in the coordinate of the move you wish to make (i.e. e2e4). The person that initiates a chess game will automatically be the white player. To launch the server program, simply specify a port number.
