"I was able to reach that level [one of the top-rated juniors in the U.S.] primarily due to the vast training resources afforded by the Internet Chess Club" — Matthew Herman
ICC's group system is designed to foster communities within ICC.
Most groups have a chat channel, a best list, and
an operator with the power to invite players into the group.
Some groups also hold tournaments and other events that are
restricted to members of their group, and use web pages
to communicate with their members.
Below is the current list of ICC groups. For more information
about groups, see the help files
groups and
group-commands.
