I don't recognize these problems with FICS.
Always lot's of people willing to help in channel 1 and people don't mind
playing computers.
I was online for 13 hours yesterday and got 43 games against 23 different human
opponents. I think only 4 of those were unrated against a guest.

I had a great time, and will be right back after a few more enhancements... :)

Frankly I see no reason to pay for playing on ICC, when FICS is so great and
totally for free!
