Lichess is another free game for chess players. You can not only play with people connected at the moment, but to also generate a unique link and invite your friend for a match.
However, the game is not the main purpose. I suggest you to view the source code kept in GitHub and see a live example of Symfony 2 and PHP5.3 usage. I think that this kind of example beats all the simple and sometimes written with mistakes articles and tutorials on the Internet. It’s worth looking and you might try Symfony2 for yourself if your hosting provider supports PHP 5.3.
