ICC was the first online chess club I joined end of 90s. Back this time being a young teenager I entered under the name of „Playgirl“🤣 Very happy to see that ICC is back again, yet now being an adult I’ll surly chose another name for registration 😆

I grew up with ICC in the 90s and 2000s, spending thousands of hours at the only chess server that mattered at the time. Proud to play a key role there, doing customer service & broadcasts (manual relays!) Very happy to see it alive and kicking, even if late. 🙂

Chapter 8 of my upcoming book The Chess Revolution, on the early days of online chess, covers ICC’s history extensively. In early 2023 I spoke with OGs like Daniel, Marty, Ruy, and Sandro and collected lots of nice anecdotes. They only hinted at some new plans…

ICC literally started my career back in 1999 (‼️). Great to see a sleeping giant wake up and get back in the game.

Glad to see my first chess playing zone is back! Wish them best of luck competing with big ones😎!

Cada vez que entro a ICC chessclub.com veo conectado a Anish Giri . No sé qué pensar al respecto.... ¿será un espía secreto infiltrado, o querrá llegar a ser el número 1 de alguna plataforma de ajedrez? 🙂

A fresh start! It will take a few weeks for our new ratings to reflect the players' actual strength, but some top guns like Jose Martínez Alcántara and @AnishGiri are already fighting to get the pole position. 🚀 Do you want to join the race? chessclub.com
