Might be of interest if you play at either site:

The two services will be merged together to form a new service, separate from ICC, to be called World Chess Live.
I am guessing this means i will no longer be able to play as a guest at WCN which i used to do regularly. Oh well.

For most people it'll just mean less competition and choice. Now the only people running the show are icc and chessbase. I am also a member of World Chess Network. I like their international mix of players, but i also use playchess and icc. id like to play blitz at rhp but the darn board is too small!
