"news 1260
1260 (Thu, Aug 2) FICS and the website experienced some downtime due to technical problems
The server and the website were down for about 24 hours, but now it should all be ok again. You might "finger foxbat" for detailed information."

Joined 25 Oct '05 Moves 2107 It's hard to get a Standard game on FICS these days. I'm considering buying Fritz and going to playchess but everyone knows ICC is the best.
