with the checkbox

  Settings -> ICS Behavior -> Smart Discard...

turned on, the board will only disappear if it's not on the foreground.
Currently, there's no way to make boards accumulating on the screen. Note
also that FICS, by default, stops observing a game when you start playing.
'help v_unobserve' (on FICS) provides help on how to change this
server-side behavior, I believe 'set unobserve 3' to be the most
reasonable setting for eboard.

To automatically append all played/observed games to a PGN file, see
Settings -> Preferences -> Autosave

PGN files can be loaded through Windows -> Games on Client
