No, I didn't try this yet. At the moment I'm more than happy about the
possibility
to play matches using Winboard against a wide range of different opponents.

I would really like to play on ICC or FICS, but as Thorsten Czub often said,
telephone costs are very high in Germany, too high to let the program play
automatically over night, for example. So I do prefer Winboard at the moment.

Nevertheless I'ld like to try this, but I don't really know how to do that. Is
it
sufficient to make the program Winboard-compatible or do I have to imple-
ment some special features to let it play on ICC or FICS? Would I have to
implement some special commands?

Greetings,

Heiko.
