Free Internet Chess Server - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1136 words)
Accordingly, FICS does not have an official interface, nor does it endorse any particular interface, and encourages users instead to try as many interfaces as possible and decide for themselves which one best suits their needs.
According to the current FICS statistics [1], some of the most popular interfaces for Windows include WinBoard, JavaBoard, BabasChess, CClient and Thief, with JavaBoard, XBoard and Jin [2] being the most popular for Linux, Unix and Mac OS X, but there are dozens of other interfaces available.
Regardless, the popular consensus is that BabasChess is the most feature-rich interface (this does not imply it is the best though), WinBoard/XBoard is the most mature (stable, bug-free) one, Thief is best suited for bughouse, and Jin is almost completely platform independent.
