I need a chess applet that will allow me to show a game, I also need to have a tournament type of javascript that will allow me to show the standings.. IE:

Player 1\.Player 1\
Player 2/..............\
.........................../Winner
Player 3\..Player 3/
Player 4/

I need an applet that won't allow the people who are viewing it mess around with it. If someone could notify me of somethingf the sort please let me know.

There may be on-line CHESS- sites where you can use 'View-Source' to see some of the code (which is how i have learned so much)... I tend to think the really high-level code would be patent-protected.

An interesting math association for you to search for might be the "Symmetric Block-Design" mathematics of HADAMARD (and his theories)...especially the Hadamard- Matrix.
This all defines an N by N matrix (like a Chess-board) in Boolean-Binary terms which is really neat and can get to be very complex. The CRC Encyclopedia of math gives a list of references going back to 1868. It is difficult to imagine anyone encoding a Chess function without some of Hadamard-Theoretic involved.
