Line 17: The ICS protocol is a simple, [[text-based]] variant of the [[TELNET]] protocol. It is sparsely [[Documentation\|documented]] and not standardised, although a few [[Reference implementation (computing)\|reference implementations]] and several [[Client (computing)\|clients]] exist. In theory, an ICS can be accessed from any TELNET client. ~~That said~~However, almost all [[User (computing)\|users]] choose to play using a graphical client, called an interface. Currently, the most popular interface is [[XBoard]] (and its [[Microsoft Windows\|Windows]] counterpart, [[XBoard\|WinBoard]]){{Citation needed\|date=August 2007}}. In recent years, however, it has lost ground to newer interfaces like [[Pychess]] and [[eboard (chess)\|eboard]]{{Citation needed\|date=August 2007}}. In addition to standalone clients, many servers also offer [[Java Platform\|Java]] interfaces that can be used directly from a [[Web browser]]. These are popular with [[Newbie\|new users]] and users of public computers.
