I have tried out FICS - http://www.freechess.org/ - the last days and I can say it is a very good server to play livechess (free) for all who wish to play without breaks (and without computers :-)) You can play there standard, crazyhouse, bughouse,wild,FRC,losers.There are also different free interfaces to download.The best seems to be "Babachess" http://www.babaschess.net/
