Subject: Live Chess Interfaces

Also, check out Chessville
and do a search for interfaces. You can get free ones to use on FICS.
I like Winboard which also serves as a chess engine and PGN reader.
Jin is a java interface and very good. Also Thief and Interchess are available free. If you cannot find the specific program I mention,
let me know and I'll find the URL and pass that along.

Subject: Re: Question

The ArtfulDodger #3 has a few good men. But then that depends on what you consider good. I think the competition in this tournament is good with 1700-2000 ratings. I'll start it with 6 but may wait for 8, depending on how long it takes to fill. It's at 4 now. Unrateds welcome.
