I once made a rough estimate on how much my normal usage of ICC would cost on playchess, it came up to 200€ or something. - on the plus side you get a free sub with chessbase programs.
playchess.com.
You need to download and install a program which connects to the playchess.com server.
It's great and I now subscribe there instead of here.
ICC is the best, but also one of the most expensive. the sub covers everything though, no extra charges.

Originally posted by wormwoodMy understanding is that you can pay one fee to just play chess, and then pay extra for any event you want to take part in or watch, or a larger (perhaps double?) fee which allows you to access to all the extras with no additional cost.

Originally posted by adramforallI think this may be an "apples and oranges" thing, in that a player may prefer playing blitz elsewhere, but may prefer the forum here.

It's true we've had some forum blockheads on lately, but that doesn't detract from the many good things we have posted here.
Our forum is a virtual cafe, where people can stop by to just chat while they wait for a move, or participate in more involved discussions where an interactive conversation is more informative or just more fun than reading an online entry somewhere else.

Originally posted by Data FlyDid RHP get some kind of beta copy of the Uchess site? The interface looks almost the same, except for the extras there.
