I don't know if it's the best place, but I just started playing at Chessnet
http://www.chess.net/ there seems to be allot of people there.  It's free, and
they have a nice free Windows interface that you can download, so you don't need
to learn a whole bunch of commands to do it (much better than using their online
Java crap.

For me, I'm very new to playing online, so I don't know what the best is, but
this is pretty good deal for a newcomer to playing online (being free).  My
biggest complaint is that _most_ people seem to prefer very fast games, but
sometimes you can get an 8 minute or more game too.
