The Internet Chess Servers are services that you can telnet to and use to play
chess with many other players around the world, both human and machine.  You
can connect to one of the servers with the command:

        telnet <host machine's address> 5000

Current addresses:
  US-   Server:  ics.uoknor.edu 5000             (129.15.10.21 5000)

  Dutch-Server:  dds.hacktic.nl 5000             (193.78.33.69 5000)

     telnet iris4.metiu.ucsb.edu (128.111.246.4) 5000
     telnet coot.lcs.mit.edu (18.52.0.70) 5000
