  I perfer FICS for it's rating system which _doesn't_ perserve rating
points. basically if you don't play for a while you're reduced to
"19 games provisional" equivalant.
  and I have crafty/winboard for lessons on what I've overlooked in my
games.
  To each his own. I'm happy as long as people are aware ICS isn't the
only chess server, but is the only chess server you have to pay for :).
