9. Next we work on the menu items. To make a menu item, simply deselect the main_body selection (Ctrl/Cmd + D) and create a new one of the size you want your button to be. Use the guides!!
Once that is done, save this selection with the name “button”.
Go to “Select>Load Selection”, and use the following settings to merge the 2 selections. You can get a more detailed tutorial for selections here.
Now, repeat this step for any number of buttons you need… I wanted 3, so I did it 2 more times.
10. Once the basic shape is complete, Create a new layer, and fill the selection with white. Double click on the layer in the Layers Palette to open the Blending Options. Use following settings:
Set Fill Opacity under the Blending Options to 20%.
11. This is what it should look like now… If not, try it out again, and then contact me if you are still having trouble.
Make a selection similar to that shown above for the main content/body of the website.
Go to “Select>Modify>Contract”. Enter 10px as the radius. This will shrink your selection by 10px from all sides.
Make a new layer, fill the selection with White. Repeat for a similar selection for the sidebar.

Hi chidozie,
I think it would be more apt to carry out this conversation in an email. You can contact me at abhinav(dot)rastogi(at)designcranium(dot)com
But as a quick response, I would suggest PHP and MySQL if the no chess playing algorithms are required to be implemented. Otherwise ASP.NET with C# would be better suited.
Applications for desktop would require Visual Basic/C#. Objective-C (iOS) for Mac and iPhone and Java for Android.
The game-play can be either with Flash or with HTML5/CSS3.
Contact me at my email for a more detailed consult.
