ICC Dasher 1.3

Dasher 1.3.0 has been released! Changes in this version.

ICC Dasher is the recommended Windows program for connecting and playing on the Internet Chess Club.  Designed as the replacement for ICC's classic Windows software, BlitzIn, Dasher offers much the same functionality in a more intuitive graphical user interface especially designed to allow new members to quickly find their way around ICC, while adding such powerful new features as an embedded chess-engine.

A normal trial membership requires Dasher or BlitzIn. If you do not use Windows, or would prefer to use different software on your trial, you can claim a free trial membership by Validating with PayPal after you create a username.
