12. Now we work on the logo. This is totally up to you, so you can skip this step.
Select the “Custom Shape Tool”, set it to “Selection mode”, not path or shape. I have used the following shape. Make this on a new layer.
13. Hold Shift while clicking and dragging to maintain proportions. Place the logo at a nice position using the guides.
“Ctrl/Cmd + Click” on the thumbnail of the layer to select the shape. Fill with color of choice.
Contract selection by 2 pixels.
14. Pick up the “Elliptical Marquee Tool”. Hold “Alt/Option + Shift” while making an ellipse over the existing selection of the crown. This will cause the new elliptical selection to intersect with the crown shaped selection. ie. only the common area will remain selected.
Create a new layer. Fill the selection with White. Lower opacity to 40%.

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.
