It allows players to play games of go. You log in a check your games when you want. Generally take 90 days a piece for games to be played. But it's fully user definable. A similar implementation with chess would be good. And afaik the source is available so you could see how they are doing things. And most likely use the non-go specific stuff.

I'd certainly be interested in playing a few slow paced relaxed games that way.

Dave.
