Internet where people can get together to play chess, watch other
people's games, or just chat. You can use either <code>telnet</code> or a
client program like XBoard to connect to the server. There are
<p>Some useful ICS commands
include

-<dt><kbd>help <topic></kbd><dd><a name="index-help_002c-ICS-command-571"></a>to get help on the given <topic>. To get a list of possible topics type
+<dt><kbd>help <topic></kbd><dd><a name="index-help_002c-ICS-command-584"></a>to get help on the given <topic>. To get a list of possible topics type
<dfn>help</dfn> without topic. Try the help command before you ask other
people on the server for help.
<p>For example <kbd>help register</kbd> tells you how to become a registered
ICS player.
-<br><dt><kbd>who <flags></kbd><dd><a name="index-who_002c-ICS-command-572"></a>to see a list of people who are logged on. Administrators

(people you should talk to if you have a problem) are marked
with the character ‘<samp><span class="samp">*</span></samp>’, an asterisk. The <flags> allow you to
display only selected players: For example, <kbd>who of</kbd> shows a
list of players who are interested in playing but do not have
an opponent.
-<br><dt><kbd>games</kbd><dd><a name="index-games_002c-ICS-command-573"></a>to see what games are being played

<br><dt><kbd>match <player> [<mins>] [<inc>]</kbd><dd>to challenge another player to a game. Both opponents get <mins> minutes
for the game, and <inc> seconds will be added after each move.
If another player challenges you, the server asks if you want to
accept the challenge; use the <kbd>accept</kbd> or <kbd>decline</kbd> commands
to answer.
-<br><dt><kbd>accept</kbd><dt><kbd>decline</kbd><dd><a name="index-accept_002c-ICS-command-574"></a><a name="index-decline_002c-ICS-command-575"></a>to accept or decline another player's offer.

The offer may be to start a new game, or to agree to a

game), you have to supply additional information, by typing something
like <kbd>accept <player></kbd>, <kbd>accept draw</kbd>, or <kbd>draw</kbd>.

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