blitzin is not a chess server, it is an interface used by ICC.
Which server is best depends on what you want from a server,
but my personal favorite is FICS(freechess.org port 5000)
The FICS web page at http://www.freechess.org/ includes a
download section from which you can get a choice of interfaces
for any major platform.  FICS allows rated play once you are
registered, and registration is free. The main weak point of
FICS is that since it does not support exchanges of money, there
are very few GM level players who use it.
