I made this web app to play online chess on FICS — one of the oldest internet chess server out there. FICS (the free alternative to ICC) has been around since 1995 and has a community of over 800,000 registered users. FICS offers a ton of invaluable chess resources including support for a wide variety of awesome desktop chess interfaces. What's been lacking for a while is a fast and sleek modern web interface (think Lichess or chess.com) to access FICS from within the browser, and The Free Chess Club steps in to fill that need.
