Internet where people can get together to play chess, watch other\r
people's games, or just chat. You can use either <code>telnet</code> or a\r
client program like XBoard to connect to the server. There are\r
Some useful ICS commands\r
include\r
<dl>
-<dt><kbd>help <topic></kbd><dd><a name="index-help_002c-ICS-command-378"></a>to get help on the given <topic>. To get a list of possible topics type\r
+<dt><kbd>help <topic></kbd><dd><a name="index-help_002c-ICS-command-380"></a>to get help on the given <topic>. To get a list of possible topics type\r
<dfn>help</dfn> without topic. Try the help command before you ask other\r
people on the server for help.\r
\r
For example <kbd>help register</kbd> tells you how to become a registered\r
ICS player.\r
-<br><dt><kbd>who <flags></kbd><dd><a name="index-who_002c-ICS-command-379"></a>to see a list of people who are logged on. Administrators\r
+<br><dt><kbd>who <flags></kbd><dd><a name="index-who_002c-ICS-command-381"></a>to see a list of people who are logged on. Administrators\r
(people you should talk to if you have a problem) are marked\r
with the character ‘<samp><span class="samp">*</span></samp>’, an asterisk. The <flags> allow you to\r
display only selected players: For example, <kbd>who of</kbd> shows a\r
list of players who are interested in playing but do not have\r
an opponent.\r
-<br><dt><kbd>games</kbd><dd><a name="index-games_002c-ICS-command-380"></a>to see what games are being played\r
+<br><dt><kbd>games</kbd><dd><a name="index-games_002c-ICS-command-382"></a>to see what games are being played\r
<br><dt><kbd>match <player> [<mins>] [<inc>]</kbd><dd>to challenge another player to a game. Both opponents get <mins> minutes\r
for the game, and <inc> seconds will be added after each move.\r
If another player challenges you, the server asks if you want to\r
accept the challenge; use the <kbd>accept</kbd> or <kbd>decline</kbd> commands\r
to answer.\r
-<br><dt><kbd>accept</kbd><dt><kbd>decline</kbd><dd><a name="index-accept_002c-ICS-command-381"></a><a name="index-decline_002c-ICS-command-382"></a>to accept or decline another player's offer. \r
+<br><dt><kbd>accept</kbd><dt><kbd>decline</kbd><dd><a name="index-accept_002c-ICS-command-383"></a><a name="index-decline_002c-ICS-command-384"></a>to accept or decline another player's offer. \r
The offer may be to start a new game, or to agree to a \r
<kbd>draw</kbd>, <kbd>adjourn</kbd> or <kbd>abort</kbd> the current game. See <a href="Action-Menu.html#Action-Menu">Action Menu</a>.\r
\r
is challenging you, or if your opponent offers both a draw and to adjourn the\r
game), you have to supply additional information, by typing something\r
like <kbd>accept <player></kbd>, <kbd>accept draw</kbd>, or <kbd>draw</kbd>.\r

games can be continued later. \r
Your opponent can either <kbd>decline</kbd> your offer or accept it (by typing the\r
same command or typing <kbd>accept</kbd>). In some cases these commands work\r
abort the game unilaterally if your opponent is out of time, and you can claim\r
a draw by repetition or the 50-move rule if available simply by typing \r
<kbd>draw</kbd>.\r
