I think we should have a chess server, and I think it's not nearly as difficult as some people would like us to believe.
It all depends on what we want to do with it. If all we want is somewhere that CFC members can play online, perhaps for means-nothing online ratings just for fun or perhaps not, that's easy. Bordering on Very Easy. Where it becomes more difficult is if you actually want to worry about cheating, which the online servers trying to make money have to worry about.
