Today I played on FICS. I have gone back to FICS because my ICC membership expired and I also wanted a change of scenery. I started off light today with only one blitz game, but my opponent made me work for it.

Today's Fishing Expedition!
I went fishing on FICS today (aka hunting fish for their rating points). This game below is an example of a fish who made me work hard for my points. In the end I had to use the ugly method of flagging it death with only one pawn left!
