You are seriously claiming not to be a troll?

To quote myself a bit:

Quote:


Looking at the latest posts from Hägen Dasz, Roger 3 and Lubo should make it clear what I meant by that.

Please show at least a little bit of self-criticism before you post your crap. Only post the good arguments, leave the kitchen sink where it belongs.

When comparing, do it fairly. Don't make dishonest comparisons like Hägen Dasz does, where he lets the Playchess user make a shortcut, but doesn't let the ICC user do the same.
Or like Lubo mention every existing command on ICC, pretending that they are a difficult ways of doing something that can easily be done on Playchess, when they can't even be done on Playchess.

All of that is redundant, and not needed. Match him, which you can do with your mouse, and he will know you are here, and he will accept if he wants a game.
Chatting isn't a command you need to play chess. You still haven't named a single command you NEED to know. And you are thus very far from the 20 commands you claim is needed.

Although I do agree that tell is a good command to know. All you have to do is type "t lubo when will you answer my question regarding the list above?"

Whereas on playchess (I think - correct me with the correct procedure if I'm wrong) you have to point the mouse to a box, click to activate that box, move your hands from the mouse to the keyboard, type in "Lubo", remove your hands from the keyboard and grab the mouse again, point the mouse to another box, click to activate that box, move your hands back to the keyboard, then type "when will you answer my question regarding the list above?"

Which is more silly? The point and click way, or prefixing your message with "t lubo"?

You don't NEED to type 20 commands to play on ICC. Try to name one.

And please, answer my interesting question to the commands you listed: How do I do those things in the Playchess interface?
(I suspect that those things can't be done)

ICC`s marketing strategy is clear: they are waiting for a nostalgia boom 

Albatross!

And? I compare the same thing, the daily process of getting an opponent. The formula doesn`t count, as I do this one time in my whole server life, but I compare here the daily process of getting quickly an opponent.
