I've been playing chess alot vs. my vista and i feel like beating down some human nerds.

Anyone know of any online chess servers? Like the Chess equivalent to bnet or iccup.

I made this account before i knew what the name meant. I just thought it sounded coooool

Chess.com has an online feature some of us have been using.

I used to use yahoo chess years ago.

chessclub.com is the primary one for competitive play, although you can only play without cost for two weeks before you have to pay. In comparison to ICCUP, it'd be like having flash play occasionally (Magnus Carlsen), nony playing all the time and having a nearly religious fanbase (Hikaru Nakamura), and tons of progamers playing for you to watch. Maybe 500 people online at regular hours? There are about 1800 accounts logged on right now, although a few hundred are bots of some sort.

It's maybe $50/year if you are an adult and $30/year if you're 21 or under.

Then there's freechess.org as the main free alternative I can think of. There are probably a lot of good free options though.

i use to play there before quitting, you can play from short half an hour games to long, 14 day per move games and anything in between. I really liked it

The alternative to chessclub.com is playchess.com which has similar fees and what not and also has a wide range of top grandmasters playing.

Jagex actually has a chess server and stuff but there isn't anyone on the game so.. well yeah you get the point. But its worth a shot. Maybe it was just late in the day.
