Problem

Design online Chess.com (High Level Design).

Asked in the HLD + HM stage. Frame the system as a chat application between two people communicating chess moves instead of text messages. Discuss the core architecture, state management, move delivery, correctness, and how you would decide whether machine learning belongs in the system.
