Why not go the easy way and keep the accounts on the server, surely this thing is backed by a database of some kind and it 's easier to create a Frontend to that instead of having to distribute and maintain a custom client.
I've just downloaded "chessd", a free chess server used by "Free Internet Chess Server" (www.freechess.org).
I'm wondering how difficult it would be to modify it, so that players would play for bitcoins. Basically my idea is that each player would have a bitcoin address in their name, and would have to put bitcoins in a public clearing address (owned by the server) before accepting a game. At the end of a game, the server would give the bitcoins to the winner (or to both players in case of a draw).
Here is the protocol document in the source code (http://sourceforge.net/projects/chessd/files/chessd):
