I prefer FICS. I dont like ICC for a few reasons. First i have to pay. Second
big problem is their Blitzin interface. AFAIK its spyware and works only in
Windows. Third you have to pay even more if you want to play with GMs. GM plays
there only with other GM and time control is usually 3 0. Watching GM 3 0 games
is NOT improving your own game. In FICS registration is free and ALL games are
also free.
