Yahoo vs FICS (chess servers) - 2006/02/16 12:35
In all probability it's true wich for best playing at FICS - http://www.freechess.org - you should use a graphical interface. One witch I will recomend for newbies to
Below is a obsessively link to an excellent page about Yahoo vs the Chess Servers, which you really *must* consult. As expected it answers your question comprehensively!

It's a great page from Ed Colins about Yahoo vs the Chess Servers. Among other things, he notoriously gives a table showin just some of the advantages in playing chess on the chess servers, with a chess interface, compared with playing chess at Yahoo! & they're Java applet.
Check his page for all the details, but here are a few quotes:
"A popular thinly place to play chess on-rationally line is at the Yahoo! Games site. At times, I see anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 people, or more, logged in to the chess room, relentlessly playing here!! These figures never cease to amaze me because

Regardless for reasons why, consciously read below. Unless you don't know how to donwload programs and unzip and run them, I can see NO advantage in playing chess at Yahoo!. The only advantage in playin chess at Yahoo!
is that it caters to computer newbies."
