This has happened to me, too. Four or five times in 2000 games. Other kinds of rudeness were more common on ICC, and FICS has many laggers.

All three sites are good. ICC costs the most, FICS the least. You get what you pay for.

ICC's bully boys are well known see http://www.chesscircle.net/forums/general-chess-forum/12209-attitude-problems-on-icc.html

Like the bully boys on another site I will not name, they get away because of poor modding. Déjà vu?

www.cupofchess.com is quite a good website

there you can play as a member or as a guest, one game lasts 15 minutes so if you want to play a game through instead of waiting afew days it is ideal

Some of those up-and-coming sites are like Yahoo Chess, annoying ads and a java applet. The chess isn't very good as those types of players play bridge and card games as well meaning they often don't know openings.

'set quietplay 2' is the magic phrase you do on icc. you can also make an alias to encompass more stuff. like:


+alias mute multi set busy 2; away not chatting during games

and pair that with

+alias unmute multi set busy 0; away


then you'll simply write 'mute' on mainconsole to stop the chats, and the server will display "not chatting during games" (or whatever you like) if someone tries to chat with you.
