playchess or icc?

I am a member of both ICC and Playchess only because I had a two-year membership at ICC and then got a free one-year membership at Playchess when I bought Fritz10.

I like ICC for all the action games between the GM's, the coverage of major events, and the simuls with GM's. I've drawn a couple of GM's in simuls there a few years ago when I was more active. As a new member at Playchess I don't see anything spectacular that they have though. In fact, it's a lot harder to get around at Playchess than it is at ICC.

Just my .02 cents.

Pet peeve of mine: I suspect you mean either 2 cents, or .02 dollars.

Unless of course you're trying to indicate that your advice is _really_ worthless 🙂

I'm not sure about that, it doesn't take too long to get used to. Then again, it's VERY easy to miss some of PC's special features.

i'm a member at icc and i haven't played any tournaments yet. how do i sign up for them. also my rating is around 1300. are their any tournaments for that level?

He could mean what he says. Here the likes of McDonalds make special offers with a cash redemption value of 0.01p i.e. you need a hudred just to get a penny back.
