Thanks for posting this video, at first I couldn't play any chess games on FICS until I realized that you have to download Babas, but after downloading that, I played a few games on FICS and my rating is already over 2,000 and I'm not even a great chess player. How is that possible? I enjoy watching all of your videos and you definitely appear to be a better chess player than I am just by listening to your strategies. What is your rating on FICS?

hello, where are you what happenedc with the chess videos and stuff?
-
@shiryu008 I think you can only do that on ICC

Hey Jobi,
I agree with your recommendation of Babaschess. I tried INemesis first, but it was just too cumbersome and confusing, so I followed the ratings and downloaded Babaschess. I love the interface for a multitude of reason: its graphics are high-quality, starting form its icon, it has loads of buttons and functions but still doesn't look cluttered up and you have an engine (Crafty) to ananlyze your games instantly after you play them.

You can "watch" the matches because there is an account representing every GM and the bots replay the game of the GMs in real time.

Thanks for this video Jay, I just downloaded this and love it!!!
