The Internet Chess Club (ICC) is the platform where I played tens of thousands of games as an up-and-coming player in the late ’90s and early ’00s, as well as the place I recorded my first videos for this channel! These days, browser-based sites like Chess.com and lichess are far more popular, but ICC remains a pleasant place to play. Here I face an Italian International Master in a King’s Indian Attack system I’m quite familar with.
