Does anyone have any experience with or comments about chessanytime.com?
It
appears to be a free internet chess server similar to FICS, although not as
well populated.

I've been playing at chessanytime for at least a year and can't say anything
bad about it. I've had pleasant conversations with many, many opponents
without any technical problems. The one time I had a problem with an opponent
who wouldn't finish a game, the admin was prompt and helpful. It's only within
the last 6 months or so there are consistently been more than 100 people on at
any time. Simple, clean interface, no cookies, and you can get your games
mailed to you in PGN.

HTH


I don't know about FICS but this one gives a lot of disconnection
errors, especially if you try to reply to the replica of your
opponent(like 'hola' u "hi", things like that...) - you just get
busted and your Windows is gone...the PC needs to be restarted, very
annoying!

Regards,

Sandra
