choongcheehuei,

What you ask is a very, very broad question and you need to be more specific when asking for help.

First, you'll need to design objects(classes) that represent the pieces of your game. Give them certain behaviours with rules and regulations such as move-styles, kill-styles, etc.

Second, design the board.

Third, design the framework in which the board and pieces will exist.

Fourth, design the GUI(graphical user interface). This means graphics, animation(if you have any), timers, etc.

Fifth, put them all together, add game options, and tie a nice little bow on it.

Check out java game programming sites by doing a search.

This probably didn't help but what the heck...
