It's now possible to play chess on DICS without the need to download clients , if you have a JAVA capable browser javachess is all you need to play chess in a graphical environment.
All server commands can be issued from the javachess console ]
This is how it looks like ,when you are already a registered player
at D.I.C.S. enter
your handle at the login field and your password at the password field then hit the
connect button.
As unregistered player you only have to type an unique name at the
login field ( no password needed) registering is easy,FREE and has some advantages .
When the board is too big to fit on your screen try disabling your
browser's directory buttons and location pointer then when the board is ok
click your browser in the background and then in the foreground again it
should be fine then!
Wait until all images are loaded [you'll see images loaded at the
status line of your browser] before attempting to login
type news followed by an enter from within the javachess console to
see the latest server news and other announcements.
Enough words spilled 
Play Chess!!
