I am discovering the Live Chess on Chess.com community playing 5 minute type chess as I have for many years on ICC and FICS in the past. Being such a veteran, I understand the importance of timeseal and playing 5 minute online chess via a downloaded chess interface as opposed to through a browser. I currently have the applications eboard, knights, and xboard installed on my computer. I can connect to FICS using eboard, but I have not figured out how to instead connect to the Chess.com server. Is this possible? How do I configure my chess interface(s) or what interface should I install (NOTE-- I am NOT running Microsoft Windows or MacIntosh as I have mentioned -- I run Linux/Unix (Ubuntu)).
