Description
Finally there is an app for playing chess on the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) worthy of an Apple device. No more ugly pieces, clunky interfaces, or flakey connections.
And best of all, it is free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no membership fees.
The interface is minimal and very easy to use. The pieces are professional and optimized for Retina devices. Care was taken to ensure a great experience across the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.
Chess Server's Features Include:
- Play as a guest or FICS member
- Play rated or unrated games
- Watch the top rated players live 24 hours a day
- Chat with opponents
- Easy control the parameters of your game invitations
- Auto login for nearly instant connection to FICS

Keeping this app free is my way of giving back to the chess community that have supported my apps. If you like it, you can thank me by installing Chess Puzzles Pro, or Grandmaster Archive.
If you have suggestions for improvements, I welcome your feedback. With your help, this app will become the preferred app of the thousands of FICS members.

Ratings and Reviews
Really good but i have a few suggestions
I appreciate the effort that you put in this app, really. God bless you for having the courage and heart to make this app free. The app is pretty good but i have a few suggestions. The UI is a little small for my iphone so I was wondering if you could redo the UI using the native UI. I dont know what framework your using, but Im willing to help you if its through Xamarin. Another thing is that i cant specify a 0 second increment for games. Also I need to drag the pieces where it would be a lot easier for me to tap where i want the piece to go. Thanks for the app!!
Good 'Nuf
Prog. works well. Does not show game notation or allow for saving games to .pgn files. Suggest users hoping to review games after play note game moves themselves with pen/paper. It's not as slick as any of the clients you may routinely use to play on FICS at your computer but it gets the job done nice-enough with but that one caveat about being sure to record your games by hand if you hope to review your play after the game.
So far so good!
Definitely a lightweight and clean interface! I play on a 6+ and it looks pretty good. Some of the navigating and tapping isnt as responsive as i'd like but i cant tell if its my connection or what. I'd love to be able to view my profile and ratings. Otherwise this is a great start to something that i believe WILL be the preferred fics client on ios
