The other user will get the request, and once this user selects an army, and accepts, the game will begin.
Simply by clicking on the square that contains the piece, and then on the destination (square).
When executing this move, be sure to move the king. Moving the rook will cause a legal move for the rook only and will not move the king.

On the bottom left of your screen you have a button that opens a window where you can keep track of the friends you have made while playing chess at Chess Empires.

This screen tracks your friends and their rankings. Once you start adding friends to your list, this window will give you information on your friends, and clicking the user on this window will let you see their profile.
This window tracks the games your friends have played, and lets you know who won that game. It also tells you if one of your friends has added a friend or if a user profile has changed.
On the top of the page there is a search option which helps you find your friends if you know their name. Once you type the name, or the first few letters of their name, you sill start seeing results. Hitting "enter" returns more results.
On the lower right of your screen there is a "Notifications" button which tells you how many new notifications you have. Once you click that button a window opens up and you will see detailed information there.
