ICC was the premium chess server for many years, but they have been experiencing difficulties with their servers recently. There are many additional features that come with the membership:

• live broadcast of grandmaster tournaments with professional commentary
• a searchable database of grandmaster games
• recorded lectures on various chess themes
• regular club tournaments
• ongoing player ratings modeled on the Elo rating system
• dozens of chat channels on various chess topics

 

If you are unsure about paying for the full year membership rate, a seven-day trial is available for you to try for free.
