Its an Application for Online Chess Friends and as well for Club Chess Friends as well, due to the social network function.

How to play chess with a friend:

1. Start Dooble Web Browser, higher than Version 1.26.1.
2. Click Addons: Start InterFace Addon.
3. Generate a Messenger-Profil with your Nickname.
4. Send your InterFace-Messenger-Key to a Chess-Friend and add the InterFace-Messenger-Key of your Friend into your own Messenger (Exchange needed).
5. Connect to each other within a minute.
6. Click on the "+" Symbol at your friend to show the connection with the pipeline symbol: *Right* Mouseclick to see the context menu (shown only for online friends).
7. Click: Start Online Chess Game in this context menu.
8. On the Chess Tab: Invite your online Friend for a Chess Game. The Invited Friend always starts - with white. (Klick in the Image to enlarge it)

PS:

* You find your own Messenger Key in the button under the friendslist (Add Friend & Send my own Messenger-Key).
* The "People" Tab allows to add more friends with right mouseclick, so the whole chess club could online with you soon... Today dont look on a wooden chess plate, both look to each other with a laptop in front and play chess over InterFace - InterFace allows to leave the chess club for home and continue to play in the evenings or at any time..

* Forwarding a Port in the Firewall/Router helps to connect faster, if not forwarded, it might take a minute ot two for the initial handshake connection.

* Be sure to right click not on the friend, but on the connection pipeline under your friends name to use this connection (your friend can have several connections, e.g. one to his mobile laptop and the other to his chess desktop at home - so decide with which device you want to start a game).
