I also wrote an article outlining the highlights of the FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) chess playing site. Nothing mind-blowing, just a simple write up.


Playing Chess on FICS, Free Internet Chess Server - Associated Content

Nice Article. I've never actually played on FICS, after reading your latest installment, I think I'll give it a try!

When you put the "subtract 200" rule in the article, perhaps you should have made the type of rating more clear. I think the blitz competition is alot stiffer than the standard competition.

My blitz rating runs from 1000-1100, but my standard rating runs about 1350-1450.
