WELCOME TO THE INTERNET CHESS CLUB
The Internet Chess Club (ICC) is the longest running, most popular,
and best place to play chess on the Internet. Nowhere else can you find as many
chess enthusiasts ready for a quick round of blitz, a short chat, an impromptu
tournament, or simply enjoying the wealth of Chess.FM shows and live event coverage.
It is not uncommon to find more than 3,000 chess players hanging out on ICC
where more than 100,000 games are played each day.
ICC Dasher is a Windows program for playing chess. Membership
enables you to play chess online within the ICC community, challenging your
skills at ICC online tournaments. You can download
Dasher for free and use it to play offline or online and to register for
a free trial ICC account.
