一些国际象棋是用纯PHP使用MySQL数据库作为骨干。这是多人游戏，只允许玩家在实时或在一个对应的风格玩。

Some Chess was written by Jon Link in PHP using a MySql database as a backbone. Because it uses only PHP it is accessible even to the folks without java or javascript access. It was designed so that my friends and myself could play chess together from anywhere. The idea is that it is a closed system, meaning that the only way into it is by invite, that way it stays friendly. Installation is simple though you do need PHP and a MySQL database. All you have to do to install Some Chess is edit the config file and create the tables using the supplied MySQL file and then upload the Some Chess folder.
