Subject: Brush with FICS management

  Lately I've been trying a few interfaces for bullet chess online. I tried one
called "LCHESS". Well, when I connected to FICS, away went the interface playing
chess against humans under my handle! It played two quick games, losing one and
winning one,before I noticed what was happening. I fixed it, then when I tried
to play myself, the server had withdrawn my right to play rated games on the
ground that I had used computer assistance. I explained what had happened and
they restored my rights, telling me I should be more careful.
  FICS is a great, free server. This is a feather in their cap, I mean the
detection system for cheats. Don't let it happen to you.
