I had a similar experience and solved it when it was pointed out to me that, my problem logging into FICS was probably caused by the lazy option of the Maemo OS to automatically begin a sentence with a capital letter, once I disabled this unnecessary feature, I was able to login to FICS because my password did not get a capital letter automatically added to the beginning of my FICS password when I tried to log in.

Having got that out of the way I challenge you to a match, my handle is korzybski, I don't play blitz only 30 minute standard, no take backs and no disconnections.

I am an honourable player, so don't cheat by using a monster to win for me

What is your handle?
