ICC Guide

An Introductory Manual for BlitzIn and the Internet Chess Club

Welcome to the Internet Chess Club (ICC). This guide teaches you how to do some common things using BlitzIn software, which you can download for free. Most importantly, after you connect you need to know how to start a game, play a game, and end a game. You should also be able to chat with your opponent and other people logged in and ask for help online.

Right-clicking on the console or on the seek graph can speed things up for you. When you gain some confidence you might want to join an online tournament. You can do better in tournaments by taking personalized lessons from strong players. These and other services are available by spending chekels, the online currency of the ICC.

Occasionally a rated game may not finish, in which case you'll end up with an adjourned game.
