Well, if you just want a computer account and not a human one, login as guest and read "help computer_app" which tells how to apply for a computer account. The process is a little more complex than for a human account, but you don't need to deal with the automated registration that objects to your email addr. The help file starts out: #If you want to have a computer account, please send an e-mail to #computers@freechess.org with ALL of the following info (please use this as #a form): If you want a human account also(and computer accounts are more likely to be granted if you have had a human account for some time) then the process is to log in as a guest and type "showa" to list all online admins. Then send one of them a tell like "tell Kokesh hi, I need help registering, the online registration program thinks that I have a free email account" Angrim (Angrim on FICS also)
