+ FreeChess chess server telnet
+____________________________________________________________
+
+ Chess has likely been there since forever, it might
+ have as well been there since longer than life on
+ earth [citation needed]. As such, software for
+ playing chess might have been around for a similarly
+ long amount of time.
+
+ Possibly one of the longest-running chess system
+ online for playing chess is FreeChess, the free online
+ chess server, and it is accessible over telnet:
+
+
+ $ telnet freechess.org 5000
+
+ A prompt offers to logon, and "guest" can be entered
+ for using it without an account, then <Enter> (then
+ once again later):
+
+ login: guest
+
+ By just staying here waiting, battle offers from other
+ players start to spawn:
+
+ GuestJZMS (++++) seeking 5 0 unrated blitz f \
+ ("play 50" to respond)
+ GuestJZMS (++++) seeking 5 0 unrated wild/fr f \
+ ("play 72" to respond)
+ GuestJZMS (++++) seeking 1 0 unrated lightning f \
+ ("play 73" to respond)
+ fics%
+
+ Playing one of these games leads you to an ASCII
+ chessboard ready for white to play:
+
+ fics% play 72
