As other have said ICC is good. For correspondence games I like
GameKnot. It has an excellent interface. Free or paid.

AFAIK older versions had a limited access to the internet server (one
year).


So it was only Fritz 8 that came with a serial without a time limit?


Probably yes.

Fritz 9 and 10 came with one-year serials only. I have those versions.


And how long have you been playing there ?

Hmmm, after a while of using dasher I think blitzin is still better than
dasher.

Default 8 Problems with GetClub Chess


Here I am going to put 8 reasons


It looks like you havenot played at GetClub and made below statements
which you would have not made if you had played it well.

1. You cant play agaist a human player without registering. It is not
possible to asses the standard of this site without playing against
human player.



Human players can be strong/ weak any one can play. There is no
restriction based on level of play. However you can view ratings to
know how good your opponent is.

Like Taylor Kingston & Nomorechess have highest Rating.



2. Could not change the look and feel of the board and piece.


When, You are playing do you need to change board pieces or you think
on the game.

3. I started a game as guest and play against computer. It shows that
the game is a 10s/ move game, but the engine is taking more than 10
second per move. Some time it takes one minut !!!!!!!


Beginner Level makes moves in 10-20 sec. It is not time Control but
Level Control. Just like Humans take different time for different Moves
the Computer plays with Fixed depth Level.


4.There is no option to drag and drop piece.


You can do it with just a Click.

5.The interface is always flickering


That is because your Computer is slow or you have opened lots of sites.
Do not open more Browsers during Game Play.

6.At last I register my account and log on. I wa the only player logged
in to the site..!!!!!! After serveral minuts one more player logged in
to the server. I dont want to play in a site which has only 2 or 3
users logged in..


It is a new Site. Soon you will find 5-10 players always ready to play.


7. It always shows a popup windows disturbing my play. My main job was
closing this window, not playing a game !!!!!


Those pop ups have some messages (Draw/ Resign etc)

8. Not at all professional approach
