online program testing against humans

Post by smcracraft »

What are the best current sites which are computer friendly and where you can force games only with people (if that is indeed even possible.)

Just looking for some humans to play against with my program rather than other programs.

Not sure about websites but FICS seems to work well, I believe according to the rules, you're just required to inform your opponent that you're a computer program

FICS is ok but they are less aggressive than ICS (chessclub.com) in shutting down accounts that are using computers while not being registered as a (C) account.
