If you are only going to use FICS then ichess pack is good.I have it on iphone and find it ok.Sometimes though I find it lagging with long delays for moves to be accepted and replys from opponent to take long time.I am not sure if this is a problem with FICS or ichess-pack.I have also got the official ICC app which costs a subscription which works out to be about $1 per week for unlimited play.I find the ICC app more polished with better graphics and stable connections.Both ichess and ICC have premove option.


That's because iChessPack doesn't have the ability to connect to FICS using timeseal. It connects to the server with pure Telnet. ICC can always implement timeseal on their own app and server. There's something that iChessPack will never be able to match.
