lichess?

[mooseyboots]

lichess is libre, open source, has an API, a strong community, and "modern" features that fics doesn't (e.g. correspondence, hardly a modern or exotic feature).

does anyone have any interest in providing support?

I was searching for something like that (ie. lichess on emacs). There is an API for third-party chess clients called Board API (it is also for e-boards). You can only play Rapid, Classical and Correspondence, for anti-cheat reasons, but you can play Blitz with a challenge or vs AI.
