Mixed bag - Version: 2.13.1, 10/29/2006 11:09AM PST

There is no perfect application for the Internet Chess Club, in my opinion. Fixation now looks very dated, and the board is ugly. Chessic suffers from the problem that you can't follow games. Jin looks promising, but as others have said, that interface! Underlined letters! And for me at least, (a) games don't save to the pgn file, and (b) the confirm buttons don't work. The final point means that to resign, for example, you have to type resign in the console. However, IF these two points could be sorted out, Jin would be the best of a far-from-perfect bunch.

Jin is excellent software to connect to different chess servers with. It has an excellent feature set which includes: The ability to change the look and feel of both the console and chess board. You can even design your own custom board sets for Jin. It allows you to save your games to a logging file in a pgn format ready for you to take into your favorite computer program to go over your games. Has shortcut buttons for frequent commands on a game window to simplify frequently used commands during a game. Has a seek graph and and a handy little actions window. It will connect with both ICC or FICS. All in all an excellent program which I am thankful is available for the Macintosh.
I used Fixation for many years but the current version of Jin is nicer.
