Best,

i prefer you would play on ICC because i am and many computers have there allready an account, if you prefer FICS, i dont have there account yet, but why to have multi acounts on ICC and FICS?

[vladstamate]

Although I do have an account on both FICS and ICC, I personally prefer FICS for both my own play as well as for my engine. FICS is free and I like to support their initiative. ICC seems quite high quality but so is the price. Also there is a lot of (what I perceive as) spamming of sale of stuff (like lectures, GM vsGM games). Not to mention the fact that penalize a lot guests. I tried to log in as guest to watch my engine play and I could not because guests cannot watch rated games. Really?....

This is just a personal opinion and a personal choice, I am not arguing one is better than the other.

Regards,
Vlad.
