Hello Frank,

i'll checked this. It looks like ICC don't wanna have guest without BlitzIN
software. The reason could be that observing GM games are no longer free and its
 not handled by the server, its handled by client.

Best,
Daniel

ps: I will try to talk with the ICC owners, but can't promise anything.
