open source client for FICS Timeseal v2 for Linux/Unix systems
|
|
|
|
Timeseal is a protocol for network lag reporting and compensation used by the FICS chess
|
|
server (freechess.org). Version 2 of the protocol provides better delay stats as the server
|
|
actively pings the client periodically. FICS's FTP repository was taken down a few years
|
|
ago and was never put back on.
|
|
Since then, there has been nowhere to download a trustable timeseal client for Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use with xboard, append "-icshelper zseal" to your normal xboard command line.
|
|
|
|
xboard -ics -icshost freechess.org -icsport 5000 -icshelper zseal
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming Slackware's gnuchess package is already installed on your system,
|
|
the install script will integrate and enable zseal in eboard automatically.
|
|
(Otherwise, follow the instructions for eboard configuration in /usr/doc/zseal-1.0/README.)
