Not having played at ICC for a while I downloaded the dashboard component. It let me sign up for a 7 day trial but would not let me click the accept the TOS button.
Next I got the blitzin and the thing looked strange. There were menus all over the place. I couldn't figure out how to play a game and afterwards (still online) kibitz it to see here I went wrong. Even before I have found my way they are still bamboozling me with sign up for a full account etc
Having won a couple of games my rating was in the 2500s Hmm are the ratings inflated at ICC or what? There was a guy in the Chess Forum who posted his win over someone in the Dragon and they were both 2300-2400 but here the guy is 1600.
For the old timers who know how to use ICC, how do I
- watch the games of top players
- which interface is best the java applet logs me in and then disappears.
- how do you add a kibitzer to games you are watching?
How can ICC expect people to shell out $60 when the ball is not rolling?
