Ochess is an online chess program for two players who 
know each other. You can play live or over a longer 
period time (like Emailchess). An instant messenging feature 
is integrated in that program. The main screen 
of the program is for managing the different 
chess games. 

The first step after starting Ochess is to create 
your account. You have to define your username and 
password. Your data is saved in the file games.ini 
so you do not have to type in username and password 
everytime you start Ochess. 
If you know the username of someone you want to play 
against, you will type in his username ("Gegner") 
and a name for the game ("Spielname") and click on 
"New Game". A frame with a chessboard is shown and 
you can do the fist step with white. If someone 
started a game against you a chessboard frame 
would open on your screen. You can also play against 
yourself. 
To let the computer show a special game click on 
the gamename in the listbox of the central frame 
and click on "Show Game". To send a short message to 
the other player click on the gamename in the listbox and 
click on "Send Message" after typing in the message 
in the textfield above the button.
