In ICS mode, you can watch games, play against other users, or replay games that have finished. The ICS host is a gathering place for enthusiasts who want to play chess against others on the Internet, watch games, participate in tournaments, or just meet chess people. Here s an example of starting an ICS session at chess.net from a Terminal window: $ xboard -ics -icshost chess.net Welcome to . . . login: guest When you first visit, type guest and press Enter to log into the chess server as a guest. (You can add a real account later by typing /register.) The XBoard window opens on your screen. Keep an eye on the Terminal window where you started the session. Someone will probably challenge you to a game within a few moments. For example, if a challenge ended with Type /accept 102 to accept the sought challenge, you d respond: chess% /accept 102 You can begin playing. To learn more about how to play, visit http://chess.net/ help. Select the Beginners Manual to start.

The commonly distributed version of Freeciv contains both client software (to play the game) and server software (to connect players together). You can connect to your server and try the game yourself or (with a network connection) play against up to 14 other players on the Internet. To install Freeciv, check out the download page on the www.freeciv.org Web site. Choose your language, start downloading, install, and have fun.
