Newbie here - been playing a while on FICS using the Babachess interface - Is Babachess the best interface or should I be using something else? Thanks.
Babachess is the most popular interface, but I found it more bloated than necessary. Personally I like iNemesis 4.04 LB (NOT the beta) but taste is very important (e.g. some people like connecting with Winboard.)
If you play on playing Bughouse Chess I recommend Thief. Oh, and avoid Jin like the plague! It doesn't support many thematic tourneys (and we added several of these recently) so you'd be missing out.

IMO BabasChess is the best. btw what username are you, Vytron?
I agree, if it's about playing at FICS, and with Windows, only. I tried one or two others but Babas is much better.
But for all other chess purposes, like analysis, training, etc. there are better interfaces to choose from: Aquarium, Arena, ChessBase, Fritz, Shredder Classic... Arena is freeware, and for most other progs (except Fritz) are demo versions available.
(I wasn't sure if the question is meant only about FICS.)
