Why server centric? Peer to Peer would do for a 2 players game.
And a peer to peer XML based communicateion would show every
one, that XML could be light weight and does not necessarily need
expensive servers ;-)
My design would be: Java applet for a nice User Interface and input
validation, encoding of the new state in XML, transfering this XML
document to the other player, decoding the state and presenting
this again to the user with java applet. (There is still the question of
wire protocol: http, RMI, CORBA, socket, ...)
