However, ICC does not use timeseal but a diffrent program called "timestamp". Since this is not supported/included in eboard the time you lose on the move to be transferred from you to the server is lost on ICC. If you have a ping of less than say 800 ms and play no faster than blitz, it doesnt matter THAT much though. If you play on FICS and use timeseal, no time should be lost even if you have a lag of 30000 since basically the time you used on the move is sent along with the move. Im not really sure why you have no board on ICC, it works for me without any major issues. /Stefan |
