chilli Posted May 30, 2007 I've just lately gotten into playing chess online through the Free Internet Chess Server... does anyone else here play there, or play chess at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilli Posted May 30, 2007 Sorry bro, its http://www.freechess.org/ Its best to download a free chess client GUI... I think BabasChess is definitely the nicest interface. Once you've registered the free account you can log in with whichever chess client you downloaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted May 30, 2007 Yeah I used to play on freechess.org server often, (linux client xboard which is a bit minimalist) and often used to get my ass handed to me Still the best place to play online IMO, if one has free time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilli Posted May 30, 2007 I'd like something more minimalistic actually... what I like about babas is its customizability and intuitveness, but it has quite a cluttered look. the trouble withe the whole damn thing is that even if I don't have time I end up sitting there for ages, very much a guilty and enraging pleasure.
