Subject: Question: best free place to play chess on Internet

Hi Guys,
My Name is Ralph Basden, I'm Tina's Stepdad - writing this with her permission.

For the first time I played on ICC.
I went there yesterday looking for Rebel v Symslov, played a coupla "guest
games" & took up the 1 week free offer. (never did find Rebel vs...)

I am WaccaBBall (from computer Golf - Whack a Bloody Ball) & I've played about
12 blitz games, took my initial rating from 1500 to 1000 & back to 1400.

Now I'm an addict.

So:  If I don't want to pay $US50 a year, I'm an Internet novice, I just want to
play friendly blitz or rapid, I want to play people (not against/with chess
software), where do you recommend I play?

What's where's Fics?
I read here good & bad about Yahoo.
I suppose $US50 isn't too bad if ICC is best (we were saving for Rebel Windows
&/or Hiarcs8).

I realise this Q has probably been answered here a zillion times, but I've never
considered playing online before so never looked.

Off Topic: Is there anywhere to play Monopoly agains real people on the net?

Thanks guys
Ralph Basden
