New Version of BabasChess client for FICS available

Go download this now if you play chess on FICS. It is simply the best chess client out there plus its free. How great is that. Here's a screeny of my play environment on FICS...

Thanks again for the tip, I hate the standard FICs client thats why i never use it. i will try this tomorrow.
BTW does the clock feature work on this? when you use the standard FICS client .. I have noticed a number of people quite happily go on playing into negative time and do not loose automatically based on time.

ps: enjoying our challenge on timeforchess.

There is an autoflag feature in the preferences, so when people hit negative time you auto call the flag.

The client is very customizable, there are several premade themes to choose from, or you can set your window/board preferences on the preference window to get something that fits you uniquely.

I keep my windows laid out pretty much like you see in the screenshot, and mess with the board styles and colors alot.

I've been stuck with CClient because I like the "3D" perspective board layout much better than the flat 2D version. They didn't add a 3D board to BabasChess did they?

Babaschess has a CClient Theme, and also several board and peice sets to choose from. Check it out.
