Question

I was wondering if there is a nice and easy way to write chess game for the web. I need no AI, no real-time connection to another player, but a table where I can set the figures.

I assume, I have a table 8×8 fields. Now, how could I make an abstract table and put some images on them as figures? Where should I start?
